In April 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale, which included the work French The Letter by Auguste Toulmouche. The »bidding war« ended at USD 73,000.00 (€ 46,891.06), 46% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Auguste Toulmouche - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vanity, which sold at auction in May 2001 for USD 88,125.00 (€ 104,228.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen
Im April 2008 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit French The Letter von Auguste Toulmouche zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 73.000,00 (€ 46.891,06) und damit 46% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Auguste Toulmouche mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vanity beobachtet, die im Mai 2001 für USD 88.125,00 (€ 104.228,27) versteigert wurde.
