Description
DONALD BAECHLER (1956-2022) Fruits signed with artist's initials and dated ‘DB89’ (lower left); signed, titled and dated ‘FRUITS Donald Baechler 1989’ (on the reverse) acrylic, coffee, ink, gesso, coloured pencil and paper collage on paper 24 x 18in. (59.6 x 47.2cm.) Executed in 1989
Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Donald Baechler achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in Paris in July this year. In the First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online auction, the work Fruits sold for GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,704.12) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Donald Baechler achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Conversazione in November 2000 with an auction result of USD 149,000.00 (€ 171,382.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Donald Baechler erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in Paris einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion First Open: Post-War and Contemporary Art Online wurde die Arbeit Fruits für GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.704,12) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Donald Baechler erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Conversazione im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 149.000,00 (€ 171.382,56).
