Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Princess Soutzo by Mihály Munkácsy was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January last year. The price achieved of USD 176,400.00 (€ 157,331.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. 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 Portrait of Princess Soutzo von Mihály Munkácsy kam im Januar letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 176.400,00 (€ 157.331,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
