A top price for Émile Friant
When the work The Political Discussion 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 50,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at EUR 212,500.00. This high result makes The Political Discussion the most expensive artwork by Émile Friant that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Émile Friant
Als die Arbeit The Political Discussion 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 50.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 212.500,00 mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Political Discussion zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Émile Friant, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
