Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2000 Christies in London held the auction OLD MASTER, MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY PRINTS, which included the work Venise - Le Ciacolone (Les Bavardes) (T. 348) by Edgar Chahine. The price achieved of GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,807.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edgar Chahine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work L'Acrobate, 1939, which sold at auction in October 2011 for EUR 5,738.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion OLD MASTER, MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY PRINTS durch, in der auch die Arbeit Venise - Le Ciacolone (Les Bavardes) (T. 348) von Edgar Chahine zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.807,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edgar Chahine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit L'Acrobate, 1939 beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für EUR 5.738,00 versteigert wurde.
