Auction result well in line with expectations

In June 2004 Christies in London held the auction Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints, which included the work Westminster Palace (B. & G. 155) by Félix Buhot. The price achieved of GBP 2,031.50 (€ 3,023.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Félix Buhot - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Une Scène Nocturne Avec Le Boulevard Montmartre, la Taverne du Bagne Et la Ménagerie Pezon Au Fond, which sold at auction in March 2005 for EUR 10,200.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juni 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints durch, in der auch die Arbeit Westminster Palace (B. & G. 155) von Félix Buhot zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.031,50 (€ 3.023,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Félix Buhot mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Une Scène Nocturne Avec Le Boulevard Montmartre, la Taverne du Bagne Et la Ménagerie Pezon Au Fond beobachtet, die im März 2005 für EUR 10.200,00 versteigert wurde.
