Upper estimate price exceeded by 61 %.
In May 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, which included the work Baigneuses Dans La Forêt by Gustave Courbet. The »bidding war« ended at USD 403,200.00 (€ 330,654.42), 61% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gustave Courbet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Femme Nue Couchée in November 2015 with an auction result of USD 15,285,000.00 (€ 14,471,690.97).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 61 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Baigneuses Dans La Forêt von Gustave Courbet zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 403.200,00 (€ 330.654,42) und damit 61% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gustave Courbet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Femme Nue Couchée im November 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.285.000,00 (€ 14.471.690,97).
