A top price for Gustav Adolf Mossa - as previously expected

In March 2014 Christies in New York held the auction BARRY FRIEDMAN: THE ECLECTIC EYE Evening Sale and Day Sale, which included the work Le Baiser D'Hélène by Gustav Adolf Mossa. The price achieved of USD 60,000.00 (€ 43,550.85) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 50,000.00 – 70,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Le Baiser D'Hélène is the most expensive artwork by Gustav Adolf Mossa that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im März 2014 führte Christies in New York die Auktion BARRY FRIEDMAN: THE ECLECTIC EYE Evening Sale and Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Le Baiser D'Hélène von Gustav Adolf Mossa zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 60.000,00 (€ 43.550,85) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 50.000,00 – 70.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Le Baiser D'Hélène das teuerste Kunstwerk von Gustav Adolf Mossa, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
