A top price for Sébastien Bourdon
When the work The Deposition From The Cross by Sébastien Bourdon was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2014, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at USD 281,000.00 (€ 208,148.15). This high result makes The Deposition From The Cross the most expensive artwork by Sébastien Bourdon that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit The Deposition From The Cross von Sébastien Bourdon im Januar 2014 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 281.000,00 (€ 208.148,15) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Deposition From The Cross zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Sébastien Bourdon, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
