A top price for Jean-Antoine Houdon - as previously expected

The work A Marble Bust Of A Roman Youth by Jean-Antoine Houdon was auctioned at Christies in New York in May 2019. The price achieved of USD 87,500.00 (€ 78,482.38) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 70,000.00 – 100,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, A Marble Bust Of A Roman Youth is the most expensive artwork by Jean-Antoine Houdon that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 87.500,00 (€ 78.482,38) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist A Marble Bust Of A Roman Youth das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jean-Antoine Houdon, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
