A top price for Apelles Fenosa

When the work (i) Untitled (bird) by Apelles Fenosa was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in April 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at EUR 6,000.00. This high result makes (i) Untitled (bird) the most expensive artwork by Apelles Fenosa that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Apelles Fenosa

Als die Arbeit (i) Untitled (bird) von Apelles Fenosa im April 2013 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 6.000,00 mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht (i) Untitled (bird) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Apelles Fenosa, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
