Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Unknown by Jean-Pierre Menuisier was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2009. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,231.17) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jean-Pierre Menuisier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of A Man, which sold at auction in January 2014 for USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,629.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Unknown von Jean-Pierre Menuisier kam im November 2009 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.231,17) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Jean-Pierre Menuisier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of A Man beobachtet, die im Januar 2014 für USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.629,63) versteigert wurde.
