Despite a disappointment, a good price for Jean Baptiste Guth

When the work Anatole France Writer by Jean Baptiste Guth was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,800.00 (€ 2,612.60). Despite this disappointing result, Anatole France Writer is the most expensive artwork by Jean Baptiste Guth that we have observed at auction so far.

Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Jean Baptiste Guth

Als die Arbeit Anatole France Writer von Jean Baptiste Guth im Dezember 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.800,00 (€ 2.612,60) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Anatole France Writer das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jean Baptiste Guth, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
