Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Agrigente by Nicolas de Staël was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in December 2019. The price achieved of EUR 2,652,500.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,000,000.00 – 3,000,000.00. Admittedly, works by Nicolas de Staël have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Parc des Princes (Les grands footballeurs) in October 2019 with an auction result of EUR 20,000,000.00.

Die Arbeit Agrigente von Nicolas de Staël kam im Dezember 2019 bei Sothebys in Paris zur Auktion.
