Upper estimate price exceeded by 75 %.
This artwork by Paul Gauguin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in June 2020. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction, the work Portrait D'Aline sold for USD 262,500.00 (€ 233,728.07) - well above the upper estimate of USD 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Gauguin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Maternité II in November last year with an auction result of USD 105,730,000.00 (€ 102,421,776.62).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Paul Gauguin erzielte im Juni 2020 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Portrait D'Aline für USD 262.500,00 (€ 233.728,07) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 150.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Gauguin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Maternité II im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 105.730.000,00 (€ 102.421.776,62).
