Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Tête De Femme by Pablo Picasso was auctioned at Christies in New York in November 2015. The price achieved of USD 3,749,000.00 (€ 3,549,517.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000,000.00 – 4,000,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Tête De Femme von Pablo Picasso kam im November 2015 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 3.749.000,00 (€ 3.549.517,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000.000,00 – 4.000.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
