Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Composition au profil (S. 19) by Fernand Léger was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2005. It achieved a price of GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,845.56), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 20%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fernand Léger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Contraste de formes in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 70,062,500.00 (€ 58,885,947.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Composition au profil (S. 19) von Fernand Léger kam im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.920,00 (€ 2.845,56) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 20%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fernand Léger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Contraste de formes im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.062.500,00 (€ 58.885.947,22).
