Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
The work Vol De Moustiques (Mosquito Flight) by Wolfgang Paalen was worth EUR 23,750.00 to a buyer in May 2021. This price was achieved in the auction The Curator’s Eye: The Collection of Professor Dr Karin von Maur at Christies in Amsterdam and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of EUR 5,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wolfgang Paalen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work „Avertissement I (Peinture)“. in July 2020 with an auction result of EUR 387,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Vol De Moustiques (Mosquito Flight) von Wolfgang Paalen war einem Käufer im Mai 2021 EUR 23.750,00 wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion The Curator’s Eye: The Collection of Professor Dr Karin von Maur bei Christies in Amsterdam erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von EUR 5.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wolfgang Paalen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit „Avertissement I (Peinture)“. im Juli 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 387.500,00.
