Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Trompe L'Oeil Still Life Of Bottles, Fruit, Plates And Other Objects Along Two Wooden Shelves by Jean Valette-Falgores was sold in the Master Paintings and Sculpture Day Sale auction at Sothebys in New York in February 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 62,500.00 (€ 51,183.36) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Jean Valette-Falgores have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A still life with artichokes in a blue and white vase, a salt cellar, a knife and two glass cruets in January this year with an auction result of USD 277,200.00 (€ 255,295.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Trompe L'Oeil Still Life Of Bottles, Fruit, Plates And Other Objects Along Two Wooden Shelves von Jean Valette-Falgores wurde im Februar 2018 in der Auktion Master Paintings and Sculpture Day Sale bei Sothebys in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 62.500,00 (€ 51.183,36) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean Valette-Falgores auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A still life with artichokes in a blue and white vase, a salt cellar, a knife and two glass cruets im Januar diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 277.200,00 (€ 255.295,63).
