A top price for Frits Klein
When the work Maternité: the artist's wife Marie Raymond and their son Yves Klein by Frits Klein was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in June 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at EUR 12,500.00. This high result makes Maternité: the artist's wife Marie Raymond and their son Yves Klein the most expensive artwork by Frits Klein that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Frits Klein
Als die Arbeit Maternité: the artist's wife Marie Raymond and their son Yves Klein von Frits Klein im Juni 2017 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 12.500,00 mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Maternité: the artist's wife Marie Raymond and their son Yves Klein zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Frits Klein, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
