Upper estimate price exceeded by 49 %.
In October this year Bonhams in London held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Toy Box by Wayne Thiebaud. The »bidding war« ended at USD 4,480.00 (€ 4,239.21), 49% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wayne Thiebaud achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Encased Cakes in July last year with an auction result of HKD 79,200,000.00 (€ 9,882,532.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 49 % übertroffen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Toy Box von Wayne Thiebaud zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 4.480,00 (€ 4.239,21) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wayne Thiebaud erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Encased Cakes im Juli letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 79.200.000,00 (€ 9.882.532,84).
