Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Figure In Mountain Landscape by Peter Doig was auctioned at Sothebys in London in October 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 12,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 37,500.00 (€ 47,882.08). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Doig achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Swamped in November 2021 with an auction result of USD 39,862,500.00 (€ 35,317,179.06).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Figure In Mountain Landscape von Peter Doig im Oktober 2014 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 12.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 37.500,00 (€ 47.882,08) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Doig erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Swamped im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 39.862.500,00 (€ 35.317.179,06).
