A top price for Victor Prouvé - as previously expected
The work Children at play by Victor Prouvé was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2001. The price achieved of USD 14,100.00 (€ 15,889.11) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Children at play is the most expensive artwork by Victor Prouvé that we have observed at auctions so far.
