Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Alexandre Duval, in profile to the right, seated in an armchair by François-Joseph Heim was auctioned at Christies in New York in January 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,211.31) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by François-Joseph Heim - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait D'Adélaïde D'Orléans (1777-1847); Et Portrait de Ferdinand, Duc D'Orléans (1810-1842), which sold at auction in November 2005 for EUR 10,200.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Alexandre Duval, in profile to the right, seated in an armchair von François-Joseph Heim kam im Januar 2008 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.211,31) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von François-Joseph Heim mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait D'Adélaïde D'Orléans (1777-1847); Et Portrait de Ferdinand, Duc D'Orléans (1810-1842) beobachtet, die im November 2005 für EUR 10.200,00 versteigert wurde.
