Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In August this year Bonhams in New York held the auction Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash, which included the work L'Unicorne laser désintègre les cornes de rhinocéros cosmiques (The Unicorn Laser Disintegrates the Horns of the Cosmic Rhinoceros), from La conquête du cosmos II (The Conquest of the Cosmos II) by Salvador Dalí. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,408.00 (€ 1,299.01), 17% above the upper estimate. 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 leicht übertroffen
Im August diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash durch, in der auch die Arbeit L'Unicorne laser désintègre les cornes de rhinocéros cosmiques (The Unicorn Laser Disintegrates the Horns of the Cosmic Rhinoceros), from La conquête du cosmos II (The Conquest of the Cosmos II) von Salvador Dalí zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.408,00 (€ 1.299,01) und damit 17% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
