In November 2019 Christies in New York held the auction La Ménagerie, which included the work Poule d'eau by François Pompon. The »bidding war« ended at USD 75,000.00 (€ 68,064.25), 67% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by François Pompon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Ours Blanc in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 329,000.00 (€ 463,885.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 67 % übertroffen
Im November 2019 führte Christies in New York die Auktion La Ménagerie durch, in der auch die Arbeit Poule d'eau von François Pompon zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 75.000,00 (€ 68.064,25) und damit 67% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von François Pompon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Ours Blanc im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 329.000,00 (€ 463.885,87).
