Upper estimate price exceeded by 94 %.

This artwork by Foujita achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in December last year. In the Impressionist & Modern Art Online auction, the work Le Dragon des mers (Enfant du village) sold for USD 4,845.00 (€ 4,528.88) - well above the upper estimate of USD 2,500.00. 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 94 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Foujita erzielte im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art Online wurde die Arbeit Le Dragon des mers (Enfant du village) für USD 4.845,00 (€ 4.528,88) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 2.500,00. 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).
