A top price for Louis François Sébastien Fauvel
When the work The East Front Of The Parthenon 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 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 30,000.00 (€ 35,646.49). This high result makes The East Front Of The Parthenon the most expensive artwork by Louis François Sébastien Fauvel that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Louis François Sébastien Fauvel
Als die Arbeit The East Front Of The Parthenon 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 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 30.000,00 (€ 35.646,49) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The East Front Of The Parthenon zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Louis François Sébastien Fauvel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
