Upper estimate price exceeded by 27 %.
In January 2003 Christies in New York held the auction Old Master & 19th Century Drawings including Works on Paper, which included the work Cornelia presenting her two young sons by Louis Gauffier. The »bidding war« ended at USD 10,157.50 (€ 9,458.52), 27% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Gauffier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Ulisse Scopre Achille Tra Le Figlie Di Licomede in December 2009 with an auction result of EUR 504,750.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 27 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2003 führte Christies in New York die Auktion Old Master & 19th Century Drawings including Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cornelia presenting her two young sons von Louis Gauffier zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 10.157,50 (€ 9.458,52) und damit 27% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Gauffier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Ulisse Scopre Achille Tra Le Figlie Di Licomede im Dezember 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 504.750,00.
