Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2020 a collector was able to acquire the work L’Éte by Alfred Stevens for USD 119,700.00 (€ 100,184.13). This price was achieved in the auction True Connoisseurship: The Collection of Ezra & Cecile Zilkha at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 120,000.00 – 180,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Alfred Stevens have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Symphonie en vert in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 657,250.00 (€ 790,269.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2020 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit L’Éte von Alfred Stevens für USD 119.700,00 (€ 100.184,13) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion True Connoisseurship: The Collection of Ezra & Cecile Zilkha bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 120.000,00 – 180.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Stevens auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Symphonie en vert im Juli 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 657.250,00 (€ 790.269,07).
