Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work The Arch Of Galerius, At Thessalonika, With A Fantastic Rotunda In The Background by Louis François Sébastien Fauvel was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 4,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,249.60). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Louis François Sébastien Fauvel; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot The East Front Of The Parthenon sold at auction in July 2016 with the realized price of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 35,646.49).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Arch Of Galerius, At Thessalonika, With A Fantastic Rotunda In The Background von Louis François Sébastien Fauvel im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 4.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 21.250,00 (€ 25.249,60) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Louis François Sébastien Fauvel; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit The East Front Of The Parthenon im Juli 2016 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 35.646,49).
