Auction result well in line with expectations

In March last year Sothebys in Paris held the auction Surrealism and Its Legacy, which included this untitled work by Simon Hantaï. The price achieved of EUR 352,800.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon Hantaï achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work M.A.4 (Mariale) in December 2016 with an auction result of EUR 4,432,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Surrealism and Its Legacy durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Simon Hantaï zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 352.800,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon Hantaï erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit M.A.4 (Mariale) im Dezember 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 4.432.500,00.
