Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work Sketch for 'La Bonne Table' (To be a Gourmet) by Ludwig Bemelmans was worth USD 20,160.00 (€ 17,167.67) to a buyer in March 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Madeline and More: The Whimsical World of Ludwig Bemelmans at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 3,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ludwig Bemelmans achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Illustration for 'Madeline and the Bad Hat' ("Pepito carried a bulging sack") in March 2021 with an auction result of USD 302,400.00 (€ 257,515.12).
