Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Day Auction, which included the work Petite Vénus sans bras by Aristide Maillol. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 40,320.00 (€ 37,573.39) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Aristide Maillol achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Riviere, 1938-1943 in December 2013 with an auction result of EUR 6,033,500.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Petite Vénus sans bras von Aristide Maillol zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 40.320,00 (€ 37.573,39) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Aristide Maillol erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Riviere, 1938-1943 im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 6.033.500,00.
