Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by René Magritte achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in Paris in March last year. In the Surrealism and Its Legacy auction, the work Le paysage fantôme sold for EUR 2,152,500.00 - well above the upper estimate of EUR 1,000,000.00. 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 um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von René Magritte erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Surrealism and Its Legacy wurde die Arbeit Le paysage fantôme für EUR 2.152.500,00 versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 1.000.000,00. 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).
