Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2019 Christies in London held the auction European Art: 19th Century & Orientalist Art, which included the work The fountain by Joaquim Mir. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,115.01), 18% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Joaquim Mir achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Spanish ruinas Del Castillo De San Tueri, Felanitx (The Ruins Of The Castle Of San Tueri In Felanitx) in May 2015 with an auction result of GBP 221,000.00 (€ 307,277.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion European Art: 19th Century & Orientalist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The fountain von Joaquim Mir zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 25.115,01) und damit 18% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Joaquim Mir erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Spanish ruinas Del Castillo De San Tueri, Felanitx (The Ruins Of The Castle Of San Tueri In Felanitx) im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 221.000,00 (€ 307.277,24).
