Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction, which included the work La pointe du Rossignol (Cap Layet) by Théo van Rysselberghe. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,184,500.00 (€ 1,404,358.06) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00. Admittedly, works by Théo van Rysselberghe have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work L’Escaut En Amont D’Anvers, Le Soir Or Voiliers Sur L'Escaut in June 2017 with an auction result of GBP 8,483,750.00 (€ 9,661,408.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit La pointe du Rossignol (Cap Layet) von Théo van Rysselberghe zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.184.500,00 (€ 1.404.358,06) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Théo van Rysselberghe auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit L’Escaut En Amont D’Anvers, Le Soir Or Voiliers Sur L'Escaut im Juni 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.483.750,00 (€ 9.661.408,40).
