In January 2015 Sothebys in New York held the auction Old Master & 19th Century European Art, which included the work A Reading From Molière by Jean Carolus. The »bidding war« ended at USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,143.49), 39% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Carolus - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Negotiations, which sold at auction in May 2000 for USD 56,400.00 (€ 60,463.12).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Im Januar 2015 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Old Master & 19th Century European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Reading From Molière von Jean Carolus zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 25.000,00 (€ 22.143,49) und damit 39% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean Carolus mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Negotiations beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für USD 56.400,00 (€ 60.463,12) versteigert wurde.
