A top price for Léon Légat
In June 2006 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures and a Symbolist Collection with a Richard Wagner section, which included the work A Farmyard In Cernay by Léon Légat. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,800.00 (€ 32,991.22), 27% above the upper estimate. With this result, A Farmyard In Cernay is even the most expensive work of art by Léon Légat that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Léon Légat
Im Juni 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art Including Russian Pictures and a Symbolist Collection with a Richard Wagner section durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Farmyard In Cernay von Léon Légat zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.800,00 (€ 32.991,22) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Mit diesem Ergebnis ist A Farmyard In Cernay sogar das teuerste Kunstwerk von Léon Légat, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
