A top price for Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi - as previously expected

The work La Liberté Éclairant Le Monde by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2015. The price achieved of USD 970,000.00 (€ 869,019.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, La Liberté Éclairant Le Monde is the most expensive artwork by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 970.000,00 (€ 869.019,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist La Liberté Éclairant Le Monde das teuerste Kunstwerk von Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
