Upper estimate price exceeded by 76 %.
This artwork by Jean Dufy achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in March last year. In the Modern Discoveries auction, the work Bouquet de roses sold for USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,950.96) - 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 Dufy achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Salle Gaveau, le grand orchestre in November 2017 with an auction result of USD 250,000.00 (€ 210,119.35).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 76 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Jean Dufy erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern Discoveries wurde die Arbeit Bouquet de roses für USD 8.820,00 (€ 7.950,96) 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 Dufy erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Salle Gaveau, le grand orchestre im November 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 250.000,00 (€ 210.119,35).
