Despite a disappointment, a good price for Joseph Fratrel
In December 2001 a collector was able to acquire the work An interesting Collection by Joseph Fratrel for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,879.68). This price was achieved in the auction Prints at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Despite this disappointing result, An interesting Collection is the most expensive artwork by Joseph Fratrel that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Joseph Fratrel
Im Dezember 2001 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit An interesting Collection von Joseph Fratrel für GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.879,68) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Prints bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist An interesting Collection das teuerste Kunstwerk von Joseph Fratrel, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
