Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Die drei heiligen Frauen (am Grabe) (The Three Holy Women (At the Tomb)) by George Minne was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 107,100.00 (€ 125,992.95). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by George Minne; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot L'Agenouillé de la fontaine: de geknielde aan de bron sold at auction in November 2009 with the realized price of EUR 217,000.00.
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Die drei heiligen Frauen (am Grabe) (The Three Holy Women (At the Tomb)) von George Minne im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 107.100,00 (€ 125.992,95) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von George Minne; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit L'Agenouillé de la fontaine: de geknielde aan de bron im November 2009 mit dem Hammerpreis von EUR 217.000,00.
