This artwork by Yves Tanguy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May last year. In the The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs auction, the work Sans titre sold for USD 390,600.00 (€ 363,992.17) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Admittedly, works by Yves Tanguy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Yves Tanguy erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Surrealist World of Rosalind Gersten Jacobs and Melvin Jacobs wurde die Arbeit Sans titre für USD 390.600,00 (€ 363.992,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00.
