Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Unknown by Paul Éluard was auctioned at Christies in Paris in April 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 3,525.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Éluard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Facile. Poèmes de Paul Eluard. Photographies de Man Ray. Paris : Editions GLM, [22 juin 1935.|AID40437] in October 2017 with an auction result of EUR 823,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Unknown von Paul Éluard im April 2004 bei Christies in Paris versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 3.525,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Éluard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Facile. Poèmes de Paul Eluard. Photographies de Man Ray. Paris : Editions GLM, [22 juin 1935.|AID40437] im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 823.500,00.
