Auction result misses estimated price range

In October this year a collector was able to acquire the work Untitled, from Sept microbes vus à travers un tempérament (Seven Microbes Seen Through a Temperament) (W. 18) by Yves Tanguy for USD 2,540.00 (€ 2,403.48). This price was achieved in the auction Editions & Works on Paper at Phillips in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Yves Tanguy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L’Extinction des espèces II in June 2019 with an auction result of GBP 3,131,250.00 (€ 3,519,989.38).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Oktober diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Untitled, from Sept microbes vus à travers un tempérament (Seven Microbes Seen Through a Temperament) (W. 18) von Yves Tanguy für USD 2.540,00 (€ 2.403,48) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper bei Phillips in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Yves Tanguy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L’Extinction des espèces II im Juni 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.131.250,00 (€ 3.519.989,38).
