Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work Paris-Tokyo (6 works) by Victor Vasarely was sold in the Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash auction at Bonhams in New York in August this year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 3,840.00 (€ 3,542.76), 28% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Victor Vasarely achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Altaï Iii in February 2010 with an auction result of GBP 565,250.00 (€ 630,588.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Paris-Tokyo (6 works) von Victor Vasarely wurde im August diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints & MultiplesSummer Splash bei Bonhams in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 3.840,00 (€ 3.542,76) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Victor Vasarely erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Altaï Iii im Februar 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 565.250,00 (€ 630.588,93).
