Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Le Bouquet De Violettes by Eva Gonzalès was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in November 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 98,500.00 (€ 75,710.99). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eva Gonzalès achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Au bord de la mer (Honfleur) in November last year with an auction result of USD 2,700,000.00 (€ 2,615,518.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Le Bouquet De Violettes von Eva Gonzalès im November 2012 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 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 98.500,00 (€ 75.710,99) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eva Gonzalès erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Au bord de la mer (Honfleur) im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.700.000,00 (€ 2.615.518,74).
