Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Piet Mondrian achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in May last year. In the Modern Day Auction auction, the work The Weavers' House sold for USD 315,000.00 (€ 293,542.07) - well above the upper estimate of USD 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Piet Mondrian achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Composition No. III, with Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black, 1929 in May 2015 with an auction result of USD 50,565,000.00 (€ 45,993,269.06).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Piet Mondrian erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Day Auction wurde die Arbeit The Weavers' House für USD 315.000,00 (€ 293.542,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 180.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Piet Mondrian erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Composition No. III, with Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black, 1929 im Mai 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.565.000,00 (€ 45.993.269,06).
