Auction result misses estimated price range
In February 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work French the Butterfly by Emile Lévy for USD 1,375.00 (€ 1,126.03). This price was achieved in the auction Fine Old Master & 19th Century European Art at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Emile Lévy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work VERCINGETORIX THROWS DOWN HIS ARMS AT THE FEET OF JULIUS CAESAR in December 2020 with an auction result of EUR 40,320.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Februar 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit French the Butterfly von Emile Lévy für USD 1.375,00 (€ 1.126,03) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Fine Old Master & 19th Century European Art bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Emile Lévy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit VERCINGETORIX THROWS DOWN HIS ARMS AT THE FEET OF JULIUS CAESAR im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 40.320,00.
