Result & Summary of our 7th Hungarian sale auction
Once again, our gallery’s pre-Christmas 7th Art Auction attracted great interest, and we have now successfully concluded it!
The most outstanding result was the hammer price and intense bidding battle for Lot 51, Mihály MUNKÁCSY’s work “Study for the "Condemned »»” .Its final selling price set a new world record among the artist’s charcoal drawings: starting at 850,000 Forints, after long bidding it finally sold for 6,500,000 Forints (+18% buyer’s premium). Congratulations to the new owner!
Also achieving a remarkable increase was Mihály MUNKÁCSY’s handwritten letter in German with a self-portrait (Lot 61), which rose from 210,000 Forints to 1,200,000 Forints (+18% buyer’s premium).
Furthermore, works by Pál CSERGEZÁN proved exceptional as well: “Two Rabbits” (Lot 8) found a new owner for 1,600,000 Forints (+18% premium) after starting at 250,000 Forints.
