Upper estimate price exceeded by 39 %.
The work Seated Figure by Francis Bacon was auctioned at Christies in New York in October last year. It achieved a price of USD 27,720.00 (€ 27,904.17), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Francis Bacon achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Three Studies Of Lucian Freud in November 2013 with an auction result of USD 142,405,000.00 (€ 104,663,383.80).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Seated Figure von Francis Bacon kam im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 27.720,00 (€ 27.904,17) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Francis Bacon erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Three Studies Of Lucian Freud im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 142.405.000,00 (€ 104.663.383,80).
