Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Picasso Ceramics, which included the work Visage aux cercles (A.R. 612) by Pablo Picasso. The »bidding war« ended at USD 9,450.00 (€ 8,806.26), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Picasso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 179,365,000.00 (€ 163,148,080.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Picasso Ceramics durch, in der auch die Arbeit Visage aux cercles (A.R. 612) von Pablo Picasso zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 9.450,00 (€ 8.806,26) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pablo Picasso erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 179.365.000,00 (€ 163.148.080,77).
