A top price for Max Levis - as previously expected
In May 2007 Christies in London held the auction Nineteenth Century European Art Including Russian Pictures, which included the work A maiden playing the lute by Max Levis. The price achieved of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,829.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A maiden playing the lute is the most expensive artwork by Max Levis that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im Mai 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Nineteenth Century European Art Including Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A maiden playing the lute von Max Levis zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.829,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A maiden playing the lute das teuerste Kunstwerk von Max Levis, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
