Upper estimate price exceeded by 77 %.
This artwork by Pierre-Joseph Redouté achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. In the Old Masters auction, the work Allium Arenarium (Ail Des Sables) sold for USD 10,625.00 (€ 9,460.42) - well above the upper estimate of USD 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre-Joseph Redouté achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Elaborate Still Life Of Flowers In A Glass Vase Resting On An Alabaster Pedestal With A Bird Nest And A Melon Below in January 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,504,000.00 (€ 1,926,450.22).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Pierre-Joseph Redouté erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters wurde die Arbeit Allium Arenarium (Ail Des Sables) für USD 10.625,00 (€ 9.460,42) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre-Joseph Redouté erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Elaborate Still Life Of Flowers In A Glass Vase Resting On An Alabaster Pedestal With A Bird Nest And A Melon Below im Januar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.504.000,00 (€ 1.926.450,22).
