Upper estimate price exceeded by 49 %.
In January this year Bonhams held the auction Prints & Multiples | Live Online, which included the work Le Matin by Foujita. The »bidding war« ended at USD 1,785.00 (€ 1,643.95), 49% above the upper estimate. 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 49 % übertroffen
Im Januar diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Prints & Multiples | Live Online durch, in der auch die Arbeit Le Matin von Foujita zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 1.785,00 (€ 1.643,95) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
