In February 2016 Christies in London held the auction Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper, which included the work Elégante by René Gruau. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,614.63), 33% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by René Gruau have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Poster Design For Moulin Rouge, 1983 in December 2008 with an auction result of USD 86,500.00 (€ 62,145.27).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Elégante von René Gruau zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.614,63) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von René Gruau auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Poster Design For Moulin Rouge, 1983 im Dezember 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 86.500,00 (€ 62.145,27).
