Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work La trompette by Georges Hugnet was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,550.00 (€ 3,023.31). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georges Hugnet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Prints Of Joan Miró in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 47,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit La trompette von Georges Hugnet im März letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.550,00 (€ 3.023,31) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georges Hugnet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Prints Of Joan Miró im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 47.500,00.
