A top price for Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse - as previously expected
In June 2007 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art, including Spanish and Orientalist Art, which included the work Le Bouquiniste (The bookseller) by Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse. The price achieved of GBP 36,000.00 (€ 53,422.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Le Bouquiniste (The bookseller) is the most expensive artwork by Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Juni 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art, including Spanish and Orientalist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Le Bouquiniste (The bookseller) von Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 36.000,00 (€ 53.422,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Le Bouquiniste (The bookseller) das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
