Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work An Architectural Capriccio With Ancient Ruins, A Triumphal Arch And A Haut-Relief Sculpture, With The Story Of Mercury And Argus by Jean Lemaire was auctioned at Sothebys in London in December 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 80,000.00 – 120,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 79,250.00 (€ 97,737.26). Other works by Jean Lemaire have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in April 2000 by the work Theseus recovering his father's sword at GBP 78,550.00 (€ 134,474.42).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit An Architectural Capriccio With Ancient Ruins, A Triumphal Arch And A Haut-Relief Sculpture, With The Story Of Mercury And Argus von Jean Lemaire im Dezember 2012 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 80.000,00 – 120.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 79.250,00 (€ 97.737,26) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Jean Lemaire wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im April 2000 die Arbeit Theseus recovering his father's sword mit GBP 78.550,00 (€ 134.474,42).
