Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Sir Isaac Newton by Jean-Leon Huens was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 750.00 (€ 568.79). 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

Als die Arbeit Sir Isaac Newton von Jean-Leon Huens im Dezember 2012 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 750,00 (€ 568,79) den Besitzer. 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.
