Upper estimate price exceeded by 25 %.
In May 2018 Sothebys in New York held the auction European Art, which included the work British Qui M'Aime Me Suit (Who Loves Me Follows Me) by Edmund Blair Leighton. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 21,422.45), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edmund Blair Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work God Speed in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 707,750.00 (€ 1,121,870.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2018 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit British Qui M'Aime Me Suit (Who Loves Me Follows Me) von Edmund Blair Leighton zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 21.422,45) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edmund Blair Leighton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit God Speed im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 707.750,00 (€ 1.121.870,87).
