Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Marin – dessin érotique by Jean Cocteau was auctioned at Bonhams in New York in June last year. The price achieved of USD 5,100.00 (€ 4,871.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. 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.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Marin – dessin érotique von Jean Cocteau kam im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.100,00 (€ 4.871,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. 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.
