Auction result misses estimated price range
In April 2007 a collector was able to acquire the work 'Beyrouth: Maison De Soeurs' by Louis de Clercq for USD 7,800.00 (€ 5,710.10). This price was achieved in the auction Photographs from the Private Collection of Margaret W. Weston at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis de Clercq - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'Djebaïl. Soubassements Phéniciens', which sold at auction in April 2008 for USD 31,000.00 (€ 19,912.64).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im April 2007 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit 'Beyrouth: Maison De Soeurs' von Louis de Clercq für USD 7.800,00 (€ 5.710,10) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Photographs from the Private Collection of Margaret W. Weston bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis de Clercq mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'Djebaïl. Soubassements Phéniciens' beobachtet, die im April 2008 für USD 31.000,00 (€ 19.912,64) versteigert wurde.
