This artwork by Louis-Michel van Loo achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in May 2000. In the Old Master Paintings from the Lagerfeld Collection auction, the work Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a red jacket sold for USD 138,000.00 (€ 147,941.68) - well above the upper estimate of USD 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis-Michel van Loo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of The Comtesse Marie Louise De Beaurepaire, Seated Full Length In A Landscape Holding A Garland Of Flowers, which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 433,250.00 (€ 550,449.00).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louis-Michel van Loo erzielte im Mai 2000 bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master Paintings from the Lagerfeld Collection wurde die Arbeit Portrait of the artist, half-length, in a red jacket für USD 138.000,00 (€ 147.941,68) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Louis-Michel van Loo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of The Comtesse Marie Louise De Beaurepaire, Seated Full Length In A Landscape Holding A Garland Of Flowers beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 433.250,00 (€ 550.449,00) versteigert wurde.
