A top price for Eugène Cuvelier
When the work 'Village De Rivière' by Eugène Cuvelier was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 90,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 288,000.00 (€ 210,834.55). This high result makes 'Village De Rivière' the most expensive artwork by Eugène Cuvelier that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Eugène Cuvelier
Als die Arbeit 'Village De Rivière' von Eugène Cuvelier im April 2007 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 90.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 288.000,00 (€ 210.834,55) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht 'Village De Rivière' zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Eugène Cuvelier, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
