A top price for Victor Gentils - as previously expected
The work The war lovers by Victor Gentils was sold in the TWENTIETH CENTURY ART INCLUDING BELGIAN ART auction at Christies in Amsterdam in December 2002. The price achieved of EUR 9,560.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The war lovers is the most expensive artwork by Victor Gentils that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The war lovers von Victor Gentils wurde im Dezember 2002 in der Auktion TWENTIETH CENTURY ART INCLUDING BELGIAN ART bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 9.560,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The war lovers das teuerste Kunstwerk von Victor Gentils, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
