A top price for Guillaume Guillon-Lethière
When the work Brutus Condemning His Sons by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 250,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 852,500.00 (€ 706,062.61). This high result makes Brutus Condemning His Sons the most expensive artwork by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Guillaume Guillon-Lethière
Als die Arbeit Brutus Condemning His Sons von Guillaume Guillon-Lethière im April 2018 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 250.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 852.500,00 (€ 706.062,61) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Brutus Condemning His Sons zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Guillaume Guillon-Lethière, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
