Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work An allegory of the arts by Hugues Taraval was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2018. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,367.44). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Hugues Taraval achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Feast of Tantalus; and Phineus interrupting the wedding banquet of Perseus and Andromeda in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 94,000.00 (€ 100,771.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit An allegory of the arts von Hugues Taraval kam im Dezember 2018 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.367,44) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Hugues Taraval erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Feast of Tantalus; and Phineus interrupting the wedding banquet of Perseus and Andromeda im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 94.000,00 (€ 100.771,87).
