Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Ready Made French Maid by Guy Le Baube for GBP 1,638.00 (€ 1,926.95). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Guy Le Baube achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St. Jean Cap Ferrat in October 2012 with an auction result of USD 28,125.00 (€ 21,704.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Ready Made French Maid von Guy Le Baube für GBP 1.638,00 (€ 1.926,95) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Guy Le Baube erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St. Jean Cap Ferrat im Oktober 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 28.125,00 (€ 21.704,74).
