In October 2008 Christies in New York held the auction 19th Century European Art and Orientalist Art, which included the work Aida by Gaston Leroux. The »bidding war« ended at USD 18,750.00 (€ 14,784.73), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gaston Leroux - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French fumeur Et Musicienne, which sold at auction in June 2010 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 30,402.33).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2008 führte Christies in New York die Auktion 19th Century European Art and Orientalist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Aida von Gaston Leroux zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 18.750,00 (€ 14.784,73) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Gaston Leroux mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French fumeur Et Musicienne beobachtet, die im Juni 2010 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 30.402,33) versteigert wurde.
