Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Frank Auerbach achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in October last year. In the Post-War & Contemporary Art auction, the work Two Sketches for 'From the Studio' sold for GBP 46,920.00 (€ 54,661.28) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 88 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Frank Auerbach erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art wurde die Arbeit Two Sketches for 'From the Studio' für GBP 46.920,00 (€ 54.661,28) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00. 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).
