Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Bouley Bay, Jersey by Auguste Henri Musin was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,481.24). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Auguste Henri Musin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Aurore D'Hiver Sur La Meuse sold at auction in December 2015 with the realized price of GBP 6,250.00 (€ 8,487.20).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Bouley Bay, Jersey von Auguste Henri Musin im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.481,24) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Auguste Henri Musin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Aurore D'Hiver Sur La Meuse im Dezember 2015 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 6.250,00 (€ 8.487,20).
