Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Untitled (Scantily Clad Girl Exposing Herself to Palace Guard) by Georges Hugnet was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,133.70) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Georges Hugnet have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Prints Of Joan Miró in February 2021 with an auction result of EUR 47,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Scantily Clad Girl Exposing Herself to Palace Guard) von Georges Hugnet kam im Juni 2019 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.133,70) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Georges Hugnet auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Prints Of Joan Miró im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 47.500,00.
