Auction result misses estimated price range
In January 2015 a collector was able to acquire the work A Boy Drawing At His Desk by Philippe Mercier for USD 53,125.00 (€ 47,054.92). This price was achieved in the auction Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 60,000.00 – 80,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Philippe Mercier have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch in January 2010 with an auction result of USD 386,500.00 (€ 278,658.98).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Januar 2015 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A Boy Drawing At His Desk von Philippe Mercier für USD 53.125,00 (€ 47.054,92) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Master Paintings and Sculpture: Part II bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Philippe Mercier auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch im Januar 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 386.500,00 (€ 278.658,98).
