Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Les Trois Graces by Niki de Saint Phalle was sold in the Contemporary Art Day Auction auction at Sothebys in New York in November 2014. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 221,000.00 (€ 177,681.30) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Niki de Saint Phalle have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nana Danseuse Noire (Grande Danseuse Negresse) - Circa 1968 in December 2015 with an auction result of EUR 961,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Les Trois Graces von Niki de Saint Phalle wurde im November 2014 in der Auktion Contemporary Art Day Auction bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 221.000,00 (€ 177.681,30) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Niki de Saint Phalle auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nana Danseuse Noire (Grande Danseuse Negresse) - Circa 1968 im Dezember 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 961.500,00.
