Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
The work The Grotto of Posillipo, Naples by Louis Jean Desprez was sold in the West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection auction at Christies in London in May 2008. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,088.17), 60% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Jean Desprez achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Design For A Stage Set: The Temple Of Neptune in July 2015 with an auction result of GBP 87,500.00 (€ 124,045.61).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 60 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Grotto of Posillipo, Naples von Louis Jean Desprez wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion West ~ East - The Niall Hobhouse Collection bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 5.088,17) und damit 60% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Jean Desprez erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Design For A Stage Set: The Temple Of Neptune im Juli 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 87.500,00 (€ 124.045,61).
