Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Profil de jeune femme by Foujita was sold in the Impressionist & Modern Art auction at Bonhams in April this year. The price achieved of GBP 15,300.00 (€ 17,437.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Profil de jeune femme von Foujita wurde im April diesen Jahres in der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 15.300,00 (€ 17.437,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben worden. 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).
