Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Departure Platform, Victoria Station by James Tissot was sold in the European & British Art, Part I auction at Sothebys in London in July last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 200,000.00 – 300,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 214,200.00 (€ 255,792.84) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Tissot achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Visit To The Yacht (La Visite Au Navire) in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 2,210,500.00 (€ 2,658,888.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Departure Platform, Victoria Station von James Tissot wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion European & British Art, Part I bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200.000,00 – 300.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 214.200,00 (€ 255.792,84) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Tissot erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Visit To The Yacht (La Visite Au Navire) im Dezember 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.210.500,00 (€ 2.658.888,67).
