Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Fernand Fonssagrives achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in London in May 2016. In the Photographs auction, the work Sand Fence sold for GBP 6,250.00 (€ 8,155.59) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fernand Fonssagrives - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lisa, 1949, which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 46,600.00 (€ 29,933.20).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Fernand Fonssagrives erzielte im Mai 2016 bei Phillips in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit Sand Fence für GBP 6.250,00 (€ 8.155,59) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Fernand Fonssagrives mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lisa, 1949 beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 46.600,00 (€ 29.933,20) versteigert wurde.
