Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.

The work Le Grand Passage by Yves Tanguy was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in December 2021. It achieved a price of GBP 4,462.50 (€ 5,322.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yves Tanguy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L’Extinction des espèces II in June 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,131,250.00 (€ 3,519,989.38).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Le Grand Passage von Yves Tanguy wurde im Dezember 2021 in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.462,50 (€ 5.322,83) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yves Tanguy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L’Extinction des espèces II im Juni 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.131.250,00 (€ 3.519.989,38).
