Sold at the upper estimate price
In February 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art, which included the work French Le Puits Qui Parle (The Talking Well) by Anatole Vély. The auction ended at the price of USD 15,000.00 (€ 13,182.18), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anatole Vély - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French la Meditation, which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 26,250.00 (€ 31,368.71).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Februar 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit French Le Puits Qui Parle (The Talking Well) von Anatole Vély zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 13.182,18) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Anatole Vély mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French la Meditation beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 26.250,00 (€ 31.368,71) versteigert wurde.
