Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Montmartre (Matin) by Kees van Dongen was sold in the Modern & Contemporary Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in March last year. The price achieved of GBP 163,800.00 (€ 194,203.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kees van Dongen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Quiétude in October this year with an auction result of GBP 10,775,000.00 (€ 12,372,693.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Montmartre (Matin) von Kees van Dongen wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern & Contemporary Day Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 163.800,00 (€ 194.203,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kees van Dongen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Quiétude im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.775.000,00 (€ 12.372.693,51).
