This artwork by Willi Soukop achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in February 2008. In the 20th Century British Art auction, the work Abstract sold for GBP 3,250.00 (€ 4,250.87) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Willi Soukop - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boy, which sold at auction in November 2011 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,673.98).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Willi Soukop erzielte im Februar 2008 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 20th Century British Art wurde die Arbeit Abstract für GBP 3.250,00 (€ 4.250,87) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.200,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Willi Soukop mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boy beobachtet, die im November 2011 für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.673,98) versteigert wurde.
