A top price for Louis Rousselet - as previously expected
The work Voyage dans l'Inde by Louis Rousselet was sold in the Photographs auction at Christies in London in May 2003. The price achieved of GBP 71,700.00 (€ 99,896.15) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Voyage dans l'Inde is the most expensive artwork by Louis Rousselet that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Voyage dans l'Inde von Louis Rousselet wurde im Mai 2003 in der Auktion Photographs bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 71.700,00 (€ 99.896,15) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Voyage dans l'Inde das teuerste Kunstwerk von Louis Rousselet, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
