A top price for Eero Saarinen

When the work Eight `Tulip' Side Chairs From The `Pedestal' Collection by Eero Saarinen was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 14,795.73). This high result makes Eight `Tulip' Side Chairs From The `Pedestal' Collection the most expensive artwork by Eero Saarinen that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Eero Saarinen

Als die Arbeit Eight `Tulip' Side Chairs From The `Pedestal' Collection von Eero Saarinen im Mai 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.875,00 (€ 14.795,73) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Eight `Tulip' Side Chairs From The `Pedestal' Collection zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Eero Saarinen, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
