Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sans titre (Plante avec fleur et feuilles) by René Magritte was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in November this year. The price achieved of USD 114,800.00 (€ 105,243.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by René Magritte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L’empire des lumières in March last year with an auction result of GBP 59,422,000.00 (€ 70,451,468.85).
