A top price for Émile Munier - as previously expected
In May 2001 Christies in New York held the auction 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART, which included the work Le Sauvetage (The Rescue) by Émile Munier. The price achieved of USD 336,000.00 (€ 397,397.99) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 300,000.00 – 400,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Le Sauvetage (The Rescue) is the most expensive artwork by Émile Munier that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2001 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN ART durch, in der auch die Arbeit Le Sauvetage (The Rescue) von Émile Munier zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 336.000,00 (€ 397.397,99) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 300.000,00 – 400.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Le Sauvetage (The Rescue) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Émile Munier, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
