Auction result misses estimated price range
In May last year a collector was able to acquire the work Nature morte aux trois papillons by Fernand Léger for USD 782,000.00 (€ 728,729.85). This price was achieved in the auction Modern Evening Auction at Sothebys in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 800,000.00 – 1,200,000.00 set by the auction house. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Nature morte aux trois papillons von Fernand Léger für USD 782.000,00 (€ 728.729,85) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern Evening Auction bei Sothebys in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 800.000,00 – 1.200.000,00. 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).
