Upper estimate price exceeded by 29 %.
The work Au Café by Jean Louis Forain was auctioned at Christies in New York in March 2021. It achieved a price of USD 90,000.00 (€ 76,641.40), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 29%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Jean Louis Forain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La femme aux affiches in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 1,692,500.00 (€ 1,450,299.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 29 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Au Café von Jean Louis Forain kam im März 2021 bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 90.000,00 (€ 76.641,40) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 29%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Jean Louis Forain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit La femme aux affiches im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 1.692.500,00 (€ 1.450.299,91).
