Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Grandfather'S Name Day (Nagyapó Névnapja) by Mihály Munkácsy was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2018. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 250,000.00 – 350,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 275,000.00 (€ 227,762.13) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mihály Munkácsy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Two Families, which sold at auction in October 2003 for USD 662,700.00 (€ 570,850.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Grandfather'S Name Day (Nagyapó Névnapja) von Mihály Munkácsy kam im April 2018 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 250.000,00 – 350.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 275.000,00 (€ 227.762,13) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Mihály Munkácsy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Two Families beobachtet, die im Oktober 2003 für USD 662.700,00 (€ 570.850,20) versteigert wurde.
