Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Deux cavaliers au bois by Kees van Dongen was sold in the The Collection of the late Lord and Lady Swaythling auction at Christies in London in May last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 107,100.00 (€ 125,992.95) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Kees van Dongen achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La Quiétude in October this year with an auction result of GBP 10,775,000.00 (€ 12,372,693.51).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Deux cavaliers au bois von Kees van Dongen wurde im Mai letzten Jahres in der Auktion The Collection of the late Lord and Lady Swaythling bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 107.100,00 (€ 125.992,95) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Kees van Dongen erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La Quiétude im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.775.000,00 (€ 12.372.693,51).
