Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In March 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Radiation À Diverses Zones by Georges Vantongerloo. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 60,000.00 (€ 70,314.08), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Georges Vantongerloo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition émanante de l'équation y=-ax2+bx+18 avec accord de orangé, vert, violet in February 2018 with an auction result of GBP 1,208,750.00 (€ 1,365,448.98).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im März 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Radiation À Diverses Zones von Georges Vantongerloo zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 70.314,08) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Georges Vantongerloo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composition émanante de l'équation y=-ax2+bx+18 avec accord de orangé, vert, violet im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.208.750,00 (€ 1.365.448,98).
