Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Head of Jake II by Frank Auerbach was auctioned at Christies in New York in November last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 80,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 365,400.00 (€ 353,966.87). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Auerbach achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Head of Gerda Boehm in June last year with an auction result of GBP 4,149,000.00 (€ 4,819,957.78).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Head of Jake II von Frank Auerbach im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 80.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 365.400,00 (€ 353.966,87) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Auerbach erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Head of Gerda Boehm im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.149.000,00 (€ 4.819.957,78).
