Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Amsterdam la nuit by Henry Valensi was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in February 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for EUR 1,250.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Valensi achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Voyage En Chemin De Fer in October 2017 with an auction result of EUR 25,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Amsterdam la nuit von Henry Valensi im Februar 2008 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für EUR 1.250,00 den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Valensi erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Voyage En Chemin De Fer im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 25.000,00.
