Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.

This artwork by Jean Cocteau achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in March this year. In the Prints & Multiples auction, the work Fleurs des yeux sold for USD 8,925.00 (€ 8,209.16) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. 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 um 79 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Cocteau erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints & Multiples wurde die Arbeit Fleurs des yeux für USD 8.925,00 (€ 8.209,16) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. 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.
