Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
The work Arabesques II by Jean Cocteau was auctioned at Bonhams in May this year. It achieved a price of USD 3,570.00 (€ 3,350.85), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Cocteau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mediterranee - 1952 in December 2014 with an auction result of EUR 132,000.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Die Arbeit Arabesques II von Jean Cocteau kam im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 3.570,00 (€ 3.350,85) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 19%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Cocteau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mediterranee - 1952 im Dezember 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 132.000,00.
