Auction result well in line with expectations

The work La promenade by Gaston La Touche was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in New York in October 2015. The price achieved of USD 50,000.00 (€ 45,281.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaston La Touche - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work L’Entracte, which sold at auction in May 2018 for USD 175,000.00 (€ 149,957.16).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit La promenade von Gaston La Touche wurde im Oktober 2015 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 45.281,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaston La Touche mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit L’Entracte beobachtet, die im Mai 2018 für USD 175.000,00 (€ 149.957,16) versteigert wurde.
