Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work La cafetière by Pablo Picasso was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in London in February 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 1,811,250.00 (€ 2,099,242.86), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 21%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pablo Picasso achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 179,365,000.00 (€ 163,148,080.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit La cafetière von Pablo Picasso wurde im Februar 2020 in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.811.250,00 (€ 2.099.242,86) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 21%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pablo Picasso erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les femmes d'Alger (Version 'O') im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 179.365.000,00 (€ 163.148.080,77).
