Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Georges Gardet could be acquired at Sothebys in New York in December 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art auction, the work French Tiger Attacking A Tortoise changed hands for USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,592.21) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 6,000.00 – 9,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Georges Gardet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Two Panthers In Combat, which sold at auction in April 2006 for USD 10,200.00 (€ 8,079.85).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Georges Gardet konnte im Dezember 2008 bei Sothebys in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Sporting Sale: Equestrian, Wildlife & Maritime Art wechselte die Arbeit French Tiger Attacking A Tortoise für USD 5.000,00 (€ 3.592,21) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 6.000,00 – 9.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Georges Gardet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Two Panthers In Combat beobachtet, die im April 2006 für USD 10.200,00 (€ 8.079,85) versteigert wurde.
