Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Self-Portrait by Antoine Vollon was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 4,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 16,250.00 (€ 15,001.85). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Antoine Vollon; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot French boats On An Estuary sold at auction in May 2013 with the realized price of USD 23,750.00 (€ 18,286.11).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Self-Portrait von Antoine Vollon im Januar 2016 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 4.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 16.250,00 (€ 15.001,85) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Antoine Vollon; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit French boats On An Estuary im Mai 2013 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 23.750,00 (€ 18.286,11).
