Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Le bon temps by René Magritte was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in March last year. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 1,200,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 1,245,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by René Magritte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L’empire des lumières in March last year with an auction result of GBP 59,422,000.00 (€ 70,451,468.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Le bon temps von René Magritte kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Paris zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 1.200.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 1.245.000,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von René Magritte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L’empire des lumières im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 59.422.000,00 (€ 70.451.468,85).
