Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Master Paintings and Drawings, which included the work A still life of flowers set on a table with a carpet, a music book and a dog seated on a pillow by François Habert. The »bidding war« ended at USD 23,940.00 (€ 20,723.68), 20% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by François Habert have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Stephanotis, primroses, snowdrops and other flowers in a blue and white Chinese bowl with a Red Admiral and a white cabbage butterfly on a ledge in July 2000 with an auction result of GBP 113,750.00 (€ 183,932.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Master Paintings and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit A still life of flowers set on a table with a carpet, a music book and a dog seated on a pillow von François Habert zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 23.940,00 (€ 20.723,68) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von François Habert auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Stephanotis, primroses, snowdrops and other flowers in a blue and white Chinese bowl with a Red Admiral and a white cabbage butterfly on a ledge im Juli 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 113.750,00 (€ 183.932,25).
