Artwork auctioned at 15 times the upper estimate price
The work Le Vase Communicant by Marcel Jean was worth USD 4,750.00 (€ 4,310.74) to a buyer in November 2019. This price was achieved in the auction The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online at Sothebys in New York and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of USD 300.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Marcel Jean achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work La lune d'Eiffel in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 94,000.00 (€ 110,425.79).
