Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Victor Vasarely achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in December 2019. In the Contemporary Art Online | New York auction, the work Marsan-X sold for USD 30,000.00 (€ 26,721.30) - well above the upper estimate of USD 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Victor Vasarely achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Altaï Iii in February 2010 with an auction result of GBP 565,250.00 (€ 630,588.93).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Victor Vasarely erzielte im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Contemporary Art Online | New York wurde die Arbeit Marsan-X für USD 30.000,00 (€ 26.721,30) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Victor Vasarely erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Altaï Iii im Februar 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 565.250,00 (€ 630.588,93).
