Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière could be acquired at Christies in New York in April 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The Kagan Collection auction, the work Coresus Sacrificing Himself To Save Callirhoe changed hands for USD 12,500.00 (€ 10,390.69) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Brutus Condemning His Sons in April 2018 with an auction result of USD 852,500.00 (€ 706,062.61).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Guillaume Guillon-Lethière konnte im April 2021 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The Kagan Collection wechselte die Arbeit Coresus Sacrificing Himself To Save Callirhoe für USD 12.500,00 (€ 10.390,69) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guillaume Guillon-Lethière erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Brutus Condemning His Sons im April 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 852.500,00 (€ 706.062,61).
