Upper estimate price exceeded by 34 %.
In November 2011 Sothebys in London held the auction European Paintings, which included the work Czech tower Planner'S Head by Mikuláš Medek. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 46,850.00 (€ 54,692.58), 34% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mikuláš Medek achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sorrow of the IVth Inquisitor in October last year with an auction result of GBP 731,100.00 (€ 851,723.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 34 % übertroffen
Im November 2011 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion European Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Czech tower Planner'S Head von Mikuláš Medek zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 46.850,00 (€ 54.692,58) und damit 34% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mikuláš Medek erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sorrow of the IVth Inquisitor im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 731.100,00 (€ 851.723,40).
