Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Man Ray achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2008. In the Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale auction, the work Ma Bête Noire Et Ma Boîte Noire - A Pair Of Natural Paintings sold for GBP 29,300.00 (€ 38,323.25) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Man Ray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924 in May last year with an auction result of USD 12,412,500.00 (€ 11,566,955.55).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Man Ray erzielte im Februar 2008 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Ma Bête Noire Et Ma Boîte Noire - A Pair Of Natural Paintings für GBP 29.300,00 (€ 38.323,25) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Man Ray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924 im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 12.412.500,00 (€ 11.566.955,55).
