Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Paris À L'Arc-En-Ciel by Robert Delaunay was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale auction at Sothebys in London in June 2018. The price achieved of GBP 175,000.00 (€ 197,779.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 150,000.00 – 200,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Robert Delaunay achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tour Eiffel in February 2012 with an auction result of GBP 3,737,250.00 (€ 4,462,375.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Paris À L'Arc-En-Ciel von Robert Delaunay wurde im Juni 2018 in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 175.000,00 (€ 197.779,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 150.000,00 – 200.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Robert Delaunay erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tour Eiffel im Februar 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.737.250,00 (€ 4.462.375,53).
