Auction result misses estimated price range

In October 2016 a collector was able to acquire the work Le Vapeur (Tugboat) by Gustave Le Gray for USD 18,750.00 (€ 17,104.54). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 20,000.00 – 30,000.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Oktober 2016 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Le Vapeur (Tugboat) von Gustave Le Gray für USD 18.750,00 (€ 17.104,54) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. 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).
