François Gerome (French, b.1895)
Elegant ladies buying flowers, La Madeleine, Paris
signed and indistinctly inscribed 'Fr. Gerome/** Madeleine/a Paris' (lower left)
oil on canvas
24¼ x 30¼ in. (61.6 x 76.8 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by François Gerome could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Elegant ladies buying flowers, La Madeleine, Paris changed hands for GBP 475.00 (€ 551.00) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by François Gerome - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mixed flowers in a vase on a balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower; and another similar, overlooking Paris, which sold at auction in January 2002 for GBP 881.25 (€ 1,447.90).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von François Gerome konnte im Dezember 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Elegant ladies buying flowers, La Madeleine, Paris für GBP 475,00 (€ 551,00) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von François Gerome mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mixed flowers in a vase on a balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower; and another similar, overlooking Paris beobachtet, die im Januar 2002 für GBP 881,25 (€ 1.447,90) versteigert wurde.
