Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
The work Four Portrait Medallions Of French Doctors And Scientists Including Benjamin Anger, Ambroise Paré, Jacques Lordat And Siméon Denis Poisson by Pierre-Jean David d'Angers was worth USD 5,670.00 (€ 4,713.22) to a buyer in April 2021. This price was achieved in the auction Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 700.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre-Jean David d'Angers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Buste En Marbre Blanc En Hermès Représentant Marie-Joseph-Gilbert Du Motier, Marquis De La Fayette (1757-1834) in June 2010 with an auction result of EUR 1,521,000.00.
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit Four Portrait Medallions Of French Doctors And Scientists Including Benjamin Anger, Ambroise Paré, Jacques Lordat And Siméon Denis Poisson von Pierre-Jean David d'Angers war einem Käufer im April 2021 USD 5.670,00 (€ 4.713,22) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Joseph H. Hirshhorn: Collector for a Nation, Part II bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von USD 700,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre-Jean David d'Angers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Buste En Marbre Blanc En Hermès Représentant Marie-Joseph-Gilbert Du Motier, Marquis De La Fayette (1757-1834) im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 1.521.000,00.
