Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Philippe Hiquily achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Paris in June last year. In the Art Contemporain Day Auction auction, the work Gertrude sold for EUR 81,900.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 34,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Philippe Hiquily - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work La Sevillane (Femme Lune) - 2006, which sold at auction in July 2021 for EUR 273,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Philippe Hiquily erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Art Contemporain Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Gertrude für EUR 81.900,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 34.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Philippe Hiquily mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit La Sevillane (Femme Lune) - 2006 beobachtet, die im Juli 2021 für EUR 273.000,00 versteigert wurde.
