Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
The work Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 by Marcel Duchamp was worth USD 104,500.00 (€ 80,162.63) to a buyer in November 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Post-War and Contemporary Morning Session at Christies in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marcel Duchamp achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Belle haleine - Eau de voilette in February 2009 with an auction result of EUR 8,913,000.00.

Die Arbeit Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 von Marcel Duchamp war einem Käufer im November 2010 USD 104.500,00 (€ 80.162,63) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Morning Session bei Christies in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marcel Duchamp erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Belle haleine - Eau de voilette im Februar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 8.913.000,00.
