Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Cheval effrayé par le sang by André Masson was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May last year. The price achieved of GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,822.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by André Masson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gradiva in December 2010 with an auction result of EUR 2,360,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Cheval effrayé par le sang von André Masson kam im Mai letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.822,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von André Masson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gradiva im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 2.360.750,00.
