Upper estimate price exceeded by 69 %.
The work La Terre Bleue by Yves Klein was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art auction at Christies in Amsterdam in November 2015. It achieved a price of EUR 59,100.00 exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 69 %. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yves Klein achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Anthropométrie de l’époque bleue, (ANT 124) (Anthropometry of the Blue Period), (ANT 124)) in June last year with an auction result of GBP 27,197,000.00 (€ 31,595,177.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 69 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit La Terre Bleue von Yves Klein wurde im November 2015 in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von EUR 59.100,00 und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 69 %. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yves Klein erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Anthropométrie de l’époque bleue, (ANT 124) (Anthropometry of the Blue Period), (ANT 124)) im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.197.000,00 (€ 31.595.177,57).
