The work Illuminated Figures by Alexander Archipenko was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale auction at Christies in New York in November last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 50,400.00 (€ 48,823.02), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexander Archipenko achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Woman in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 1,464,000.00 (€ 2,169,740.45).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Illuminated Figures von Alexander Archipenko wurde im November letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 50.400,00 (€ 48.823,02) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexander Archipenko erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Woman im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.464.000,00 (€ 2.169.740,45).
