Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Woman In A Pink Dress by Jean Louis Forain was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in February 2019, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 9,375.00 (€ 8,238.86). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Louis Forain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La femme aux affiches in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,450,299.91).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Woman In A Pink Dress von Jean Louis Forain im Februar 2019 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 9.375,00 (€ 8.238,86) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Louis Forain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La femme aux affiches im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.692.500,00 (€ 1.450.299,91).
