Upper estimate price exceeded by 29%

In May last year Christies in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Personnage Couché by Georges Valmier. The »bidding war« ended at USD 77,500 (€ 63,556), 29% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Georges Valmier have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nature Morte Au Compotier in November 2014 with an auction result of USD 725,000 (€ 582,891).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 29% übertroffen

Im Mai letzten Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Personnage Couché von Georges Valmier zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 77.500 (€ 63.556) und damit 29% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Georges Valmier auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nature Morte Au Compotier im November 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 725.000 (€ 582.891).
