Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work La forêt by Maurice de Vlaminck was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in London in October last year. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 1,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 1,122,300.00 (€ 1,307,467.07). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Maurice de Vlaminck achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Paysage de banlieue in May 2011 with an auction result of USD 22,482,500.00 (€ 15,638,912.08).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit La forêt von Maurice de Vlaminck wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 1.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 1.122.300,00 (€ 1.307.467,07) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Maurice de Vlaminck erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Paysage de banlieue im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 22.482.500,00 (€ 15.638.912,08).
