Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Dancing athlete with an olive branch by Frederic Leighton was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in June last year. The price achieved of USD 252,375.00 (€ 241,068.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 200,000.00 – 300,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederic Leighton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Golden Hours in June 2016 with an auction result of GBP 3,274,500.00 (€ 3,930,468.55).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Dancing athlete with an olive branch von Frederic Leighton kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 252.375,00 (€ 241.068,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederic Leighton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Golden Hours im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.274.500,00 (€ 3.930.468,55).
