Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Gustave Moreau achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in October last year. In the The Ann & Gordon Getty Collection: Volume 2 |Old Master, 19th and 20th Century Paintings, Day Sale auction, the work Costume Design For Sapho sold for USD 32,760.00 (€ 32,977.65) - well above the upper estimate of USD 15,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gustave Moreau erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Ann & Gordon Getty Collection: Volume 2 |Old Master, 19th and 20th Century Paintings, Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Costume Design For Sapho für USD 32.760,00 (€ 32.977,65) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 15.000,00. 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).
