Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Jean-Leon Huens could be acquired at Christies in New York in December 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration auction, the work Copernicus changed hands for USD 687.50 (€ 521.39) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Leon Huens - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Galileo, which sold at auction in December 2012 for USD 1,625.00 (€ 1,232.37).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean-Leon Huens konnte im Dezember 2012 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion The National Geographic Collection: The Art of Exploration wechselte die Arbeit Copernicus für USD 687,50 (€ 521,39) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Leon Huens mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Galileo beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für USD 1.625,00 (€ 1.232,37) versteigert wurde.
