This artwork by Alexandre Cabanel achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in April 2008. In the 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale auction, the work Love'S Messenger sold for USD 40,000.00 (€ 25,693.73) - well above the upper estimate of USD 20,000.00. 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 um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alexandre Cabanel erzielte im April 2008 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale wurde die Arbeit Love'S Messenger für USD 40.000,00 (€ 25.693,73) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 20.000,00. 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).
