Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction The Jeanson Collection, which included the work Argus géant - Male Argus - Phasianus argus by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,880.00 (€ 2,980.03) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Gabriel Prêtre - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Deux éléphants d'Afrique - Two African Elephants [1 Lion - Lion 2, only the first signed "JG Prêtre" in gold in the margin, the first with gold framing lines.|AID962896], which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,175.12).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Jeanson Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Argus géant - Male Argus - Phasianus argus von Jean-Gabriel Prêtre zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.880,00 (€ 2.980,03) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Gabriel Prêtre mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Deux éléphants d'Afrique - Two African Elephants [1 Lion - Lion 2, only the first signed "JG Prêtre" in gold in the margin, the first with gold framing lines.|AID962896] beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 7.050,00 (€ 11.175,12) versteigert wurde.
