Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March last year Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction, which included the work A Pair of Lovers (Eglogue en Provence) by Vincent van Gogh. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 10,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 10,015,000.00 (€ 11,873,909.67). Admittedly, works by Vincent van Gogh have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Verger avec cyprès in November last year with an auction result of USD 117,180,000.00 (€ 113,513,513.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Pair of Lovers (Eglogue en Provence) von Vincent van Gogh zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 10.015.000,00 (€ 11.873.909,67) einen neuen Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Vincent van Gogh auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Verger avec cyprès im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 117.180.000,00 (€ 113.513.513,51).
