Upper estimate price exceeded by 33 %.
In May 2016 Christies in London held the auction Prints & Multiples, which included the work Study for a Portrait of John Edwards by Francis Bacon. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,864.50), 33% above the upper estimate. 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 33 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints & Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study for a Portrait of John Edwards von Francis Bacon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.864,50) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
