Gallery of Surrealism, New York | Acquired from the above in April 2006

Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Lucien Coutaud achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2019. In the The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online auction, the work Plage Et Oiseaux sold for USD 1,500.00 (€ 1,361.29) - well above the upper estimate of USD 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lucien Coutaud achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Plage De L'Eroticomagie - 1954 in March 2020 with an auction result of EUR 14,300.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Lucien Coutaud erzielte im November 2019 bei Sothebys in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online wurde die Arbeit Plage Et Oiseaux für USD 1.500,00 (€ 1.361,29) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lucien Coutaud erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Plage De L'Eroticomagie - 1954 im März 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 14.300,00.
