Auction result well in line with expectations
In May last year Sothebys in New York held the auction Modern Day Auction, which included the work Nature morte au parapluie by Fernand Léger. It changed hands for a price of USD 945,000.00 (€ 880,626.22) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of USD 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Fernand Léger achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Contraste de formes in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 70,062,500.00 (€ 58,885,947.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Modern Day Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit Nature morte au parapluie von Fernand Léger zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von USD 945.000,00 (€ 880.626,22) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Fernand Léger erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Contraste de formes im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 70.062.500,00 (€ 58.885.947,22).
