SALVADOR DALÍ (1904-1989)
Illustration pour l'article de Salvador Dalí "The American City Night-and-Day by Dalí"
signed and dated 'Salvador Dalí 1935' (lower center)
black Conté crayon and pencil on card
11 3⁄4 x 17 3⁄8 in. (30 x 44 cm.)
Drawn in 1935

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Salvador Dalí achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs auction, the work Illustration pour l'article de Salvador Dalí "The American City Night-and-Day by Dalí" sold for USD 403,200.00 (€ 375,733.86) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Salvador Dalí achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait De Paul Éluard in February 2011 with an auction result of GBP 13,481,250.00 (€ 15,879,784.58).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Salvador Dalí erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs wurde die Arbeit Illustration pour l'article de Salvador Dalí "The American City Night-and-Day by Dalí" für USD 403.200,00 (€ 375.733,86) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Salvador Dalí erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait De Paul Éluard im Februar 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.481.250,00 (€ 15.879.784,58).
