A top price for Virginie Demont-Breton
When the work French Femme De Pêcheur Venant De Baigner Ses Enfants by Virginie Demont-Breton was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 543,000.00 (€ 477,194.83). This high result makes French Femme De Pêcheur Venant De Baigner Ses Enfants the most expensive artwork by Virginie Demont-Breton that we have observed at auctions so far.
