Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Gardens of the Chateau Touffou, 1940s by François Kollar was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2000, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 900.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 646.25 (€ 1,036.99). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by François Kollar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work View from the Transporter Bridge, Marseille in October 2017 with an auction result of USD 15,000.00 (€ 12,877.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Gardens of the Chateau Touffou, 1940s von François Kollar im Mai 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 900,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 646,25 (€ 1.036,99) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von François Kollar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit View from the Transporter Bridge, Marseille im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.000,00 (€ 12.877,75).
