Auction result well in line with expectations
The work French Affection by Hugues Merle was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019. The price achieved of USD 11,875.00 (€ 10,435.89) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugues Merle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French Hamlet And Ophelia in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 312,500.00 (€ 267,780.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit French Affection von Hugues Merle kam im Februar 2019 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 11.875,00 (€ 10.435,89) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugues Merle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French Hamlet And Ophelia im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 312.500,00 (€ 267.780,63).
