Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work A River Landscape With A Farmer Ploughing In The Foreground, A Castle Seen Beyond by Jacques Stella was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 24,000.00 (€ 35,133.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacques Stella - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Charity, which sold at auction in January 2016 for USD 150,000.00 (€ 138,478.58).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A River Landscape With A Farmer Ploughing In The Foreground, A Castle Seen Beyond von Jacques Stella im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 24.000,00 (€ 35.133,19) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jacques Stella mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Charity beobachtet, die im Januar 2016 für USD 150.000,00 (€ 138.478,58) versteigert wurde.
