Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Jean Cocteau achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March this year. In the Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale auction, the work Le cercle de famille sold for GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,167.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. 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 mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Cocteau erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale wurde die Arbeit Le cercle de famille für GBP 6.300,00 (€ 7.167,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00. 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.
