Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Prince K: Two States by Louis Legrand was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,125.00 (€ 1,065.14). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Legrand achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Danseuses Saluant in June 2016 with an auction result of EUR 22,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Prince K: Two States von Louis Legrand im November 2015 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.125,00 (€ 1.065,14) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Legrand erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Danseuses Saluant im Juni 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 22.500,00.
