Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Self-Portrait Reading In The Studio, Also Known As The Student by Émile Friant was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in June 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 25,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at EUR 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Émile Friant - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Political Discussion, which sold at auction in June 2018 for EUR 212,500.00.
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Self-Portrait Reading In The Studio, Also Known As The Student von Émile Friant im Juni 2018 bei Sothebys in Paris versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 25.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 100.000,00 mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Émile Friant mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Political Discussion beobachtet, die im Juni 2018 für EUR 212.500,00 versteigert wurde.
