Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2012 Christies in Amsterdam held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art, which included the work La vie du ferme by Gustave de Smet. The price achieved of EUR 205,000.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 180,000.00 – 250,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gustave de Smet - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Les Amants, which sold at auction in March 2019 for EUR 588,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2012 führte Christies in Amsterdam die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit La vie du ferme von Gustave de Smet zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 205.000,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 180.000,00 – 250.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Gustave de Smet mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Les Amants beobachtet, die im März 2019 für EUR 588.500,00 versteigert wurde.
