Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Approaching A Surprise by Eugène Modeste Edmond Le Poitevin was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in June 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 5,000.00 – 7,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 3,750.00 (€ 3,051.01). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eugène Modeste Edmond Le Poitevin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work BATHING IN ETRETAT in December 2020 with an auction result of EUR 226,800.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Approaching A Surprise von Eugène Modeste Edmond Le Poitevin im Juni 2010 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 3.750,00 (€ 3.051,01) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eugène Modeste Edmond Le Poitevin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit BATHING IN ETRETAT im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 226.800,00.
