Upper estimate price exceeded by 94 %.
This artwork by Paula Rego achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2018. In the Contemporary Edition auction, the work Children and their Stories sold for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,930.95) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paula Rego achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' in October this year with an auction result of GBP 3,065,000.00 (€ 3,519,471.52).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 94 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Paula Rego erzielte im September 2018 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Edition wurde die Arbeit Children and their Stories für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 3.930,95) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paula Rego erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.065.000,00 (€ 3.519.471,52).
