Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.
The work Torse De Jeune Gitan by Pablo Gargallo was sold in the Modern Art auction at Christies in Amsterdam in December 2014. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 23,750.00 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Gargallo achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Masque D'Arlequin Souriant Iii, 1927 in October 2007 with an auction result of EUR 490,896.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Torse De Jeune Gitan von Pablo Gargallo wurde im Dezember 2014 in der Auktion Modern Art bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 23.750,00 und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pablo Gargallo erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Masque D'Arlequin Souriant Iii, 1927 im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 490.896,00.
