Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection, which included the work A view of a town, traditionally identified as Paris by Raymond Lafage. The price achieved of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 5,699.04) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Raymond Lafage - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figure With A Staff Resting On A Plinth, which sold at auction in January 2016 for USD 17,500.00 (€ 16,155.83).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion Master Drawings from the Oppé Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit A view of a town, traditionally identified as Paris von Raymond Lafage zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.840,00 (€ 5.699,04) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Raymond Lafage mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Figure With A Staff Resting On A Plinth beobachtet, die im Januar 2016 für USD 17.500,00 (€ 16.155,83) versteigert wurde.
