A top price for François Etienne Musin - as previously expected
In December 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Art of Travel and Exploration, which included the work Belgian hms Resolute In Search Of Sir John Franklin by François Etienne Musin. The price achieved of GBP 100,000.00 (€ 111,408.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Belgian hms Resolute In Search Of Sir John Franklin is the most expensive artwork by François Etienne Musin that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Dezember 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Art of Travel and Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit Belgian hms Resolute In Search Of Sir John Franklin von François Etienne Musin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 100.000,00 (€ 111.408,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Belgian hms Resolute In Search Of Sir John Franklin das teuerste Kunstwerk von François Etienne Musin, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
