Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A Cello and a Mandolin in an interior by Henri Michel-Lévy was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,175.00 (€ 1,305.27). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henri Michel-Lévy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plage de Courseuilles in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 8,812.50 (€ 14,023.46).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A Cello and a Mandolin in an interior von Henri Michel-Lévy im April 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.175,00 (€ 1.305,27) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henri Michel-Lévy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plage de Courseuilles im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.812,50 (€ 14.023,46).
