Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Willi Soukop achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in April 2017. In the Made in Britain auction, the work The Star Gazer sold for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,562.55) - 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 April 2017 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Made in Britain wurde die Arbeit The Star Gazer für GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.562,55) 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.
