Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Peasant Digging Up Potatoes by Vincent van Gogh was sold in the Impressionist, Modern & Surrealist Art Evening Sale auction at Sothebys in London in February 2020. The price achieved of GBP 495,000.00 (€ 573,706.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 450,000.00 – 550,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Peasant Digging Up Potatoes von Vincent van Gogh wurde im Februar 2020 in der Auktion Impressionist, Modern & Surrealist Art Evening Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 495.000,00 (€ 573.706,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 450.000,00 – 550.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
