Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Spiral Head by Pavel Tchelitchew was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in November this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 21,760.00 (€ 19,948.66). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pavel Tchelitchew achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Concert in December 2016 with an auction result of GBP 1,385,000.00 (€ 1,619,289.71).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Spiral Head von Pavel Tchelitchew im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 21.760,00 (€ 19.948,66) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pavel Tchelitchew erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Concert im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.385.000,00 (€ 1.619.289,71).
