Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2021 Bonhams in Paris held the auction The Greek Sale, which included the work Sur la guerre d' Indépendance (Paysage orphique) by Nikos Engonopoulos. It changed hands for a price of EUR 175,312.50 achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of EUR 140,000.00 – 180,000.00. Admittedly, works by Nikos Engonopoulos have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Scène homérique avec le héros / Scène homérique: épisode de la guerre de Troie in November 2020 with an auction result of GBP 682,750.00 (€ 762,179.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2021 führte Bonhams in Paris die Auktion The Greek Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sur la guerre d' Indépendance (Paysage orphique) von Nikos Engonopoulos zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von EUR 175.312,50 den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von EUR 140.000,00 – 180.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Nikos Engonopoulos auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Scène homérique avec le héros / Scène homérique: épisode de la guerre de Troie im November 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 682.750,00 (€ 762.179,40).
