Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In September 2002 Christies in London held the auction THE FREYCINET COLLECTION, which included the work Rawak. 1818. Eventail en osier trouvé à Rawak. by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,912.00 (€ 3,038.61), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nid d'Autour trouvé à L'Ile d'Irk=hatighs, 7bre 1818. in September 2002 with an auction result of GBP 41,825.00 (€ 66,469.53).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im September 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE FREYCINET COLLECTION durch, in der auch die Arbeit Rawak. 1818. Eventail en osier trouvé à Rawak. von Jacques Etienne Victor Arago zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.912,00 (€ 3.038,61) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jacques Etienne Victor Arago erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nid d'Autour trouvé à L'Ile d'Irk=hatighs, 7bre 1818. im September 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 41.825,00 (€ 66.469,53).
