Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Rock-a-bye, Baby by Paula Rego was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in December last year. It achieved a price of GBP 1,785.00 (€ 2,015.09), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paula Rego achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' in October this year with an auction result of GBP 3,065,000.00 (€ 3,519,471.52).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Rock-a-bye, Baby von Paula Rego wurde im Dezember letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.785,00 (€ 2.015,09) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 19%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paula Rego erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.065.000,00 (€ 3.519.471,52).
