Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March 2021 Christies in New York held the auction A Family Collection: Works on Paper, Van Gogh to Freud, which included the work La Mousmé by Vincent van Gogh. Here, the upper estimate of USD 10,000,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for USD 10,436,000.00 (€ 8,886,996.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vincent van Gogh achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 2021 führte Christies in New York die Auktion A Family Collection: Works on Paper, Van Gogh to Freud durch, in der auch die Arbeit La Mousmé von Vincent van Gogh zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von USD 10.000.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für USD 10.436.000,00 (€ 8.886.996,51) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vincent van Gogh erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Verger avec cyprès im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 117.180.000,00 (€ 113.513.513,51).
