Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Mediterranean with Mount Agde, 1856-1859 by Gustave Le Gray was sold in the Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection auction at Christies in New York in April last year. The »bidding war« ended at USD 75,600.00 (€ 71,747.18), 51% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Mediterranean with Mount Agde, 1856-1859 von Gustave Le Gray wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Photographs from the Richard Gere Collection bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 75.600,00 (€ 71.747,18) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
