A top price for Eugene d'Argence

When the work Messageries Maritimes by Eugene d'Argence was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 900.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 11 times as high at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,696.86). This high result makes Messageries Maritimes the most expensive artwork by Eugene d'Argence that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Eugene d'Argence

Als die Arbeit Messageries Maritimes von Eugene d'Argence im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 900,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.696,86) mehr als elfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Messageries Maritimes zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Eugene d'Argence, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
