Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Czech The Sleepwalker (Náměsíčník) by Jan Zrzavý was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2014. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,571.60). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jan Zrzavý achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Czech leÍcí Hoch (Sleeping Boy) in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 542,500.00 (€ 652,826.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Czech The Sleepwalker (Náměsíčník) von Jan Zrzavý kam im November 2014 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.571,60) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jan Zrzavý erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Czech leÍcí Hoch (Sleeping Boy) im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 542.500,00 (€ 652.826,14).
