Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
The work L'Avocat pathétique by Honoré Daumier was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in September 2021. It achieved a price of USD 100,800.00 (€ 87,069.19), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Honoré Daumier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Les Avocats — Le Parquet Des Avocats in May 2013 with an auction result of USD 2,629,000.00 (€ 2,024,176.16).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit L'Avocat pathétique von Honoré Daumier kam im September 2021 bei Sothebys in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 100.800,00 (€ 87.069,19) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Honoré Daumier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Les Avocats — Le Parquet Des Avocats im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.629.000,00 (€ 2.024.176,16).
