This artwork by Adolphe de Meyer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in October 2008. In the Photographs auction, the work The Cup sold for USD 68,500.00 (€ 54,013.56) - well above the upper estimate of USD 35,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adolphe de Meyer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Water Lilies, which sold at auction in October 2017 for GBP 125,000.00 (€ 142,524.47).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Adolphe de Meyer erzielte im Oktober 2008 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Photographs wurde die Arbeit The Cup für USD 68.500,00 (€ 54.013,56) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 35.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Adolphe de Meyer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Water Lilies beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für GBP 125.000,00 (€ 142.524,47) versteigert wurde.
