Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Nature morte by André Lemaitre was sold in the At Home-British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper auction at Christies in London in October 2003. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 528.75 (€ 772.29) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by André Lemaitre - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nature Morte, which sold at auction in September 2006 for EUR 2,640.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Nature morte von André Lemaitre wurde im Oktober 2003 in der Auktion At Home-British and Continental Pictures and Works on Paper bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 528,75 (€ 772,29) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von André Lemaitre mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nature Morte beobachtet, die im September 2006 für EUR 2.640,00 versteigert wurde.
