Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Blonde Girl by Emile Claus was sold in the European & British Art, Part I auction at Sothebys in London in July last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 30,000.00 – 40,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 30,240.00 (€ 36,111.93) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Emile Claus achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Vue sur Murano, lueur du couchant in February 2018 with an auction result of GBP 596,750.00 (€ 674,111.01).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Blonde Girl von Emile Claus wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion European & British Art, Part I bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 30.000,00 – 40.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 30.240,00 (€ 36.111,93) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Emile Claus erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Vue sur Murano, lueur du couchant im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 596.750,00 (€ 674.111,01).
