In May 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work Cathédrale De Chartres, Portail Du Midi, 1855 by Charles Nègre. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 26,116.94), 42% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Nègre - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Versant de la colline avec cascade et personnage (Slope of the hill with waterfall and figure), which sold at auction in October 2017 for USD 112,500.00 (€ 96,583.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 42 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cathédrale De Chartres, Portail Du Midi, 1855 von Charles Nègre zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 21.250,00 (€ 26.116,94) und damit 42% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Nègre mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Versant de la colline avec cascade et personnage (Slope of the hill with waterfall and figure) beobachtet, die im Oktober 2017 für USD 112.500,00 (€ 96.583,10) versteigert wurde.
