Upper estimate price exceeded by 47 %.
The work Nature morte aux poissons by Foujita was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale auction at Christies in London in June last year. It achieved a price of GBP 8,820.00 (€ 10,246.33), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 47%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Foujita achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La fête d'anniversaire in October 2018 with an auction result of GBP 7,096,250.00 (€ 8,002,380.76).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 47 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Nature morte aux poissons von Foujita wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 8.820,00 (€ 10.246,33) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 47%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Foujita erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La fête d'anniversaire im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.096.250,00 (€ 8.002.380,76).
