Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Femme Aux Cheveux Roux by Jean-Gabriel Domergue was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 21,420.00 (€ 24,639.23). Admittedly, works by Jean-Gabriel Domergue have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Les danseuses de French Cancan in November 2008 with an auction result of USD 164,500.00 (€ 129,588.78).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Femme Aux Cheveux Roux von Jean-Gabriel Domergue im April 2021 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 21.420,00 (€ 24.639,23) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jean-Gabriel Domergue auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Les danseuses de French Cancan im November 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 164.500,00 (€ 129.588,78).
