Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In September 2021 Sothebys in New York held the auction From Daumier to Olitski: Select Works from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation and Family Collections, which included the work L'Avocat pathétique by Honoré Daumier. The »bidding war« ended at USD 100,800.00 (€ 87,069.19), 26% above the upper estimate. 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
Im September 2021 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion From Daumier to Olitski: Select Works from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation and Family Collections durch, in der auch die Arbeit L'Avocat pathétique von Honoré Daumier zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 100.800,00 (€ 87.069,19) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
