Upper estimate price exceeded by 71 %.
In July 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper, which included the work The Falcon by Pierre Subleyras. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 60,000.00 (€ 66,925.43), 71% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pierre Subleyras achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait Of Pope Benedict Xiv in January 2009 with an auction result of USD 986,500.00 (€ 770,462.36).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 71 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Old Master Day Sale including Old Master Paintings, Drawings and British Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Falcon von Pierre Subleyras zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 66.925,43) und damit 71% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pierre Subleyras erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait Of Pope Benedict Xiv im Januar 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 986.500,00 (€ 770.462,36).
