Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction The European Art Sale, which included the work Releasing Butterflies by Louis Émile Villa. Here, the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 32,760.00 (€ 28,358.73). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Émile Villa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French la Japonaise, which sold at auction in November 2012 for USD 146,500.00 (€ 112,605.69).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion The European Art Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Releasing Butterflies von Louis Émile Villa zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 32.760,00 (€ 28.358,73) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis Émile Villa mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French la Japonaise beobachtet, die im November 2012 für USD 146.500,00 (€ 112.605,69) versteigert wurde.
