A top price for Nicolas Tournier

When the work A Musician, Identified As Saint Genesius, Playing A Lute by Nicolas Tournier was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 100,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 409,000.00 (€ 262,718.40). This high result makes A Musician, Identified As Saint Genesius, Playing A Lute the most expensive artwork by Nicolas Tournier that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Nicolas Tournier

Als die Arbeit A Musician, Identified As Saint Genesius, Playing A Lute von Nicolas Tournier im April 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 100.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 409.000,00 (€ 262.718,40) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A Musician, Identified As Saint Genesius, Playing A Lute zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Nicolas Tournier, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
