Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2017 Christies in New York held the auction Important Photographs from the Collection of Donald and Alice Lappé, which included the work Antithèse, c. 1930 by Pierre Dubreuil. The price achieved of USD 87,500.00 (€ 75,120.19) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pierre Dubreuil - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work 'The First Round', which sold at auction in October 2011 for USD 314,500.00 (€ 225,496.52).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2017 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Important Photographs from the Collection of Donald and Alice Lappé durch, in der auch die Arbeit Antithèse, c. 1930 von Pierre Dubreuil zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 75.120,19) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Pierre Dubreuil mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit 'The First Round' beobachtet, die im Oktober 2011 für USD 314.500,00 (€ 225.496,52) versteigert wurde.
