A top price for Marcel Dyf
When the work Marché aux fleurs by Marcel Dyf was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 44,100.00 (€ 51,879.45). This high result makes Marché aux fleurs the most expensive artwork by Marcel Dyf that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Marcel Dyf
Als die Arbeit Marché aux fleurs von Marcel Dyf im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 44.100,00 (€ 51.879,45) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Marché aux fleurs zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Marcel Dyf, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
