This artwork by Peter Saul achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale auction, the work Picasso's Girl in the Mirror I sold for USD 214,200.00 (€ 199,608.61) - well above the upper estimate of USD 120,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Saul - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Human Dignity, which sold at auction in May this year for USD 819,000.00 (€ 768,725.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 79 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Peter Saul erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Picasso's Girl in the Mirror I für USD 214.200,00 (€ 199.608,61) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 120.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Saul mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Human Dignity beobachtet, die im Mai diesen Jahres für USD 819.000,00 (€ 768.725,36) versteigert wurde.
