Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Seated Female Nude by Philip Pearlstein was auctioned at Bonhams in London in December this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 21,760.00 (€ 25,066.69). Admittedly, works by Philip Pearlstein have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Model With Empire State Building in November 2010 with an auction result of USD 170,500.00 (€ 130,791.65).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Seated Female Nude von Philip Pearlstein im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 21.760,00 (€ 25.066,69) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Philip Pearlstein auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Model With Empire State Building im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 170.500,00 (€ 130.791,65).
