Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Foujita achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in New York in November last year. In the Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale auction, the work Voilier à Collioure (Mlle. Pauline) sold for USD 63,000.00 (€ 61,028.77) - well above the upper estimate of USD 30,000.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Foujita erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Impressionist & Modern Works on Paper Sale wurde die Arbeit Voilier à Collioure (Mlle. Pauline) für USD 63.000,00 (€ 61.028,77) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 30.000,00. 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).
