Auction result well in line with expectations

The work L'O et l'U de l'oiseau by Jean (Hans) Arp was auctioned at Sothebys in Paris in March last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of EUR 3,000,000.00 – 5,000,000.00, the actual price achieved of EUR 3,423,000.00 could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Jean (Hans) Arp have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in November 2018 the work Déméter was auctioned for USD 5,825,000.00 (€ 5,144,396.36).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit L'O et l'U de l'oiseau von Jean (Hans) Arp kam im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in Paris zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von EUR 3.000.000,00 – 5.000.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von EUR 3.423.000,00 konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von Jean (Hans) Arp konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im November 2018 die Arbeit Déméter für USD 5.825.000,00 (€ 5.144.396,36) versteigert.
