Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In October 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction American Art, which included the work A Russian Autumn by Leon Shulman Gaspard. The »bidding war« ended at USD 75,000.00 (€ 64,388.74), 50% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Leon Shulman Gaspard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Finish of the Kermesse in November 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,001,000.00 (€ 1,362,336.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion American Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Russian Autumn von Leon Shulman Gaspard zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 64.388,74) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Leon Shulman Gaspard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Finish of the Kermesse im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.001.000,00 (€ 1.362.336,60).
