Auction result misses estimated price range

In June 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Soirée Snob Chez La Princesse by Joan Miró for GBP 2,953,250.00 (€ 3,733,007.02). This price was achieved in the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000,000.00 – 4,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Joan Miró have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Peinture (Étoile Bleue) in June 2012 with an auction result of GBP 23,561,250.00 (€ 29,174,436.97).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Juni 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Soirée Snob Chez La Princesse von Joan Miró für GBP 2.953.250,00 (€ 3.733.007,02) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000.000,00 – 4.000.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Joan Miró auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Peinture (Étoile Bleue) im Juni 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.561.250,00 (€ 29.174.436,97).
