Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work Les Artistes by Jean Cocteau was auctioned at Bonhams in London in June this year. It achieved a price of GBP 3,584.00 (€ 4,171.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. 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 28 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Les Artistes von Jean Cocteau kam im Juni diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 3.584,00 (€ 4.171,16) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. 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.
