Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Photographs, which included the work Ciel Chargé - Mer Méditerranée (Cloudy Sky, Mediterranean Sea) by Gustave Le Gray. The price achieved of USD 37,500.00 (€ 32,194.37) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gustave Le Gray achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bateaux quittant le port du Havre (navires de la flotte de Napoleon III), 1856-1857 in February 2016 with an auction result of USD 965,000.00 (€ 887,927.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ciel Chargé - Mer Méditerranée (Cloudy Sky, Mediterranean Sea) von Gustave Le Gray zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 32.194,37) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gustave Le Gray erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bateaux quittant le port du Havre (navires de la flotte de Napoleon III), 1856-1857 im Februar 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 965.000,00 (€ 887.927,86).
