Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Kleiner Frauenkopf by Hansruedi Giger was sold in the Swiss Art/Swiss Made auction at Sothebys in Zurich in December 2018. The »bidding war« ended at CHF 10,625.00 (€ 9,432.28), 18% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hansruedi Giger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Landschaft X (Tell '73), 1972 in October 2017 with an auction result of CHF 225,000.00 (€ 193,784.34).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Kleiner Frauenkopf von Hansruedi Giger wurde im Dezember 2018 in der Auktion Swiss Art/Swiss Made bei Sothebys in Zürich versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von CHF 10.625,00 (€ 9.432,28) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hansruedi Giger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Landschaft X (Tell '73), 1972 im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von CHF 225.000,00 (€ 193.784,34).
