Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in Paris held the auction Art Impressionniste et Moderne Day Auction, which included the work Stilleven by Léon de Smet. The »bidding war« ended at EUR 30,240.00 21% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Léon de Smet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Roze Harmonie in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 485,000.00 (€ 668,742.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in Paris die Auktion Art Impressionniste et Moderne Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Stilleven von Léon de Smet zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von EUR 30.240,00 und damit 21% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Léon de Smet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Roze Harmonie im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 485.000,00 (€ 668.742,97).
