Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Visitation Of Faust By Mephistopheles by Henry Fuseli was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2018. It changed hands for a price of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 49,053.37) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 35,000.00 – 45,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Fuseli achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The incubus leaving two young women in October 2021 with an auction result of USD 3,510,000.00 (€ 3,038,434.90).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Visitation Of Faust By Mephistopheles von Henry Fuseli kam im Juli 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 43.750,00 (€ 49.053,37) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 35.000,00 – 45.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Fuseli erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The incubus leaving two young women im Oktober 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.510.000,00 (€ 3.038.434,90).
