Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Arab Smoker by Jean Discart was auctioned at Christies in New York in October 2002. The price achieved of USD 130,500.00 (€ 132,071.65) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean Discart - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work French l'Atelier De Poterie, Tanger, which sold at auction in April 2012 for GBP 325,250.00 (€ 398,910.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Arab Smoker von Jean Discart kam im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 130.500,00 (€ 132.071,65) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean Discart mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit French l'Atelier De Poterie, Tanger beobachtet, die im April 2012 für GBP 325.250,00 (€ 398.910,07) versteigert wurde.
