Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2019 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist and Modern Art Online, which included the work Deux Clowns by Emilio Grau Sala. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 3,500.00 (€ 3,117.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Emilio Grau Sala achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Después de la carrera in October 2006 with an auction result of EUR 168,000.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2019 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Deux Clowns von Emilio Grau Sala zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 3.500,00 (€ 3.117,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Emilio Grau Sala erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Después de la carrera im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 168.000,00.
