Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Untitled (Flowers in vase), 1930 by Emmanuel Sougez was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 4,375.00 (€ 3,905.90). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Emmanuel Sougez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pommes De Terre, 1930, which sold at auction in November 2008 for EUR 13,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Untitled (Flowers in vase), 1930 von Emmanuel Sougez im April 2019 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 4.375,00 (€ 3.905,90) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Emmanuel Sougez mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pommes De Terre, 1930 beobachtet, die im November 2008 für EUR 13.750,00 versteigert wurde.
