Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In November 2017 Sothebys in New York held the auction Art Treasures of America: The John F. Eulich Collection, which included the work French woman Sewing In A Garden by Marie-François Firmin-Girard. The »bidding war« ended at USD 93,750.00 (€ 78,794.76), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marie-François Firmin-Girard achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work French Le Quai Aux Fleurs in May 2014 with an auction result of USD 3,021,000.00 (€ 2,214,809.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im November 2017 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Art Treasures of America: The John F. Eulich Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit French woman Sewing In A Garden von Marie-François Firmin-Girard zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 93.750,00 (€ 78.794,76) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Marie-François Firmin-Girard erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit French Le Quai Aux Fleurs im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.021.000,00 (€ 2.214.809,38).
