Auction result well in line with expectations
The work King Solomon Sacrificing to the Idols by Sébastien Bourdon was auctioned at Christies in New York in April 2017. The price achieved of USD 75,000.00 (€ 68,838.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 60,000.00 – 100,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sébastien Bourdon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Deposition From The Cross, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 281,000.00 (€ 208,148.15).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit King Solomon Sacrificing to the Idols von Sébastien Bourdon kam im April 2017 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 68.838,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 60.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Sébastien Bourdon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Deposition From The Cross beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 281.000,00 (€ 208.148,15) versteigert wurde.
