Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Adoration of the Magi (Walch 20; Worthen-Reed 31) by Jacques Bellange was sold in the Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints auction at Christies in London in September 2006. The price achieved of GBP 8,400.00 (€ 12,391.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jacques Bellange - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Martyrdom Of Saint Andrew, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 34,686.15).
