Les Choses

Found at Christies, New York
The House Sale, Lot 439
10. Jul - 12. Jul 2007
Estimate: 3.000 - 5.000 USD
Price realised: 38.400 USD
René Bértholo (PORTUGUESE, b. 1935)
Les Choses
signed and dated 'Bertholo 64' (lower right)
oil on canvas
51¾ x 38¼ in. (131.4 x 97.2 cm.)
Painted in 1964.

Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price

When the work Les Choses by René Bertholo was auctioned at Christies in New York in July 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at USD 38,400.00 (€ 28,006.71). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by René Bertholo; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Les Avantages et... sold at auction in July 2007 with the realized price of USD 48,000.00 (€ 35,008.39).

Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Les Choses von René Bertholo im Juli 2007 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 38.400,00 (€ 28.006,71) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von René Bertholo; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Les Avantages et... im Juli 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von USD 48.000,00 (€ 35.008,39).
