Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Picture Book by Helene Schjerfbeck was sold in the European & British Art, Part I auction at Sothebys in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 378,000.00 (€ 451,399.14) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Admittedly, works by Helene Schjerfbeck have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tanssiaiskengät; Balskorna (Dancing Shoes) in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 3,044,500.00 (€ 3,872,737.05).

Die Arbeit The Picture Book von Helene Schjerfbeck wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion European & British Art, Part I bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 378.000,00 (€ 451.399,14) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Helene Schjerfbeck auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tanssiaiskengät; Balskorna (Dancing Shoes) im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.044.500,00 (€ 3.872.737,05).
