A top price for Franz Simm
In April 2008 Sothebys in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art including The Orientalist Sale, which included the work Austrian Life In The Harem by Franz Simm. Here, the upper estimate of USD 80,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 85,000.00 (€ 54,599.18). With this result, Austrian Life In The Harem is even the most expensive work of art by Franz Simm that we have observed at auctions so far.
