A top price for Florent Mols - as previously expected
The work Overlooking the Nile by Florent Mols was sold in the 19th Century European Art auction at Christies in New York in October 2017. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 15,000.00 – 25,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 16,250.00 (€ 13,950.89) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Overlooking the Nile is the most expensive artwork by Florent Mols that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Overlooking the Nile von Florent Mols wurde im Oktober 2017 in der Auktion 19th Century European Art bei Christies in New York versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 15.000,00 – 25.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 16.250,00 (€ 13.950,89) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Overlooking the Nile das teuerste Kunstwerk von Florent Mols, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
