The work Portraits Of A Gentleman And A Lady Said To Be General Sir Andrew Pilkington (1776-1833); And His Wife Maria Gibbs, Three-Quarter Length by Philippe Mercier was sold in the Old Master Paintings and British Paintings auction at Sothebys in London in April 2010. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,000.00 (€ 17,262.07), 25% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Philippe Mercier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch in January 2010 with an auction result of USD 386,500.00 (€ 278,658.98).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Portraits Of A Gentleman And A Lady Said To Be General Sir Andrew Pilkington (1776-1833); And His Wife Maria Gibbs, Three-Quarter Length von Philippe Mercier wurde im April 2010 in der Auktion Old Master Paintings and British Paintings bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.000,00 (€ 17.262,07) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Philippe Mercier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Allegories Of The Five Senses: Hearing, Smell, Sight, Taste And Touch im Januar 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 386.500,00 (€ 278.658,98).
