Auction result misses estimated price range
In May 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Portrieux. La Comtesse (Opus no. 191) by Paul Signac for USD 13,812,500.00 (€ 11,835,904.03). This price was achieved in the auction The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller: 19th and 20th Century Art, Evening Sale at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 15,000,000.00 – 25,000,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Paul Signac - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Concarneau, calme du matin (Opus no. 219, larghetto), which sold at auction in November last year for USD 39,320,000.00 (€ 38,089,702.61).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Mai 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Portrieux. La Comtesse (Opus no. 191) von Paul Signac für USD 13.812.500,00 (€ 11.835.904,03) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion The Collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller: 19th and 20th Century Art, Evening Sale bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 15.000.000,00 – 25.000.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Paul Signac mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Concarneau, calme du matin (Opus no. 219, larghetto) beobachtet, die im November letzten Jahres für USD 39.320.000,00 (€ 38.089.702,61) versteigert wurde.
