Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Etude / Blancs (two-sided) by Simon Hantaï was sold in the Art Contemporain Evening Auction auction at Sothebys in Paris in June last year. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 1,500,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 1,668,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Simon Hantaï - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work M.A.4 (Mariale), which sold at auction in December 2016 for EUR 4,432,500.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Etude / Blancs (two-sided) von Simon Hantaï wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Art Contemporain Evening Auction bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 1.500.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 1.668.500,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Simon Hantaï mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit M.A.4 (Mariale) beobachtet, die im Dezember 2016 für EUR 4.432.500,00 versteigert wurde.
