Sold at the lower estimate price
In December 2015 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European & Orientalist Art, which included the work Christ In The Garden Of Olives by Gustave Moreau. The result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 54,318.08) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gustave Moreau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Chimère in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 677,250.00 (€ 974,220.47).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European & Orientalist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Christ In The Garden Of Olives von Gustave Moreau zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 54.318,08) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gustave Moreau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Chimère im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 677.250,00 (€ 974.220,47).
