Upper estimate price exceeded by 98 %.

This artwork by Fernand Le Quesne achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in February 2020. In the Erotic Online auction, the work Standing Beauty sold for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,763.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fernand Le Quesne - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French Allegorie De La Publicite, which sold at auction in June 2009 for GBP 37,250.00 (€ 43,711.63).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 98 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Fernand Le Quesne erzielte im Februar 2020 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Erotic Online wurde die Arbeit Standing Beauty für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.763,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Fernand Le Quesne mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French Allegorie De La Publicite beobachtet, die im Juni 2009 für GBP 37.250,00 (€ 43.711,63) versteigert wurde.
