Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2020 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work Desdémone by Alexandre Cabanel. The »bidding war« ended at USD 47,880.00 (€ 41,109.30), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexandre Cabanel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Birth of Venus in October 2002 with an auction result of USD 834,500.00 (€ 844,550.15).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Desdémone von Alexandre Cabanel zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 47.880,00 (€ 41.109,30) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexandre Cabanel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Birth of Venus im Oktober 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 834.500,00 (€ 844.550,15).
