Auction result well in line with expectations
In May this year Bonhams in London held the auction From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries, which included the work Kagami no mae (At the Mirror) by Paul Jacoulet. The price achieved of GBP 1,024.00 (€ 1,191.43) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Jacoulet achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Showa Era (1926-1989), Circa 1934 in March 2019 with an auction result of USD 31,325.00 (€ 27,899.00).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion From Harunobu to Hasui | Japanese Prints across the centuries durch, in der auch die Arbeit Kagami no mae (At the Mirror) von Paul Jacoulet zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.024,00 (€ 1.191,43) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Jacoulet erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Showa Era (1926-1989), Circa 1934 im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 31.325,00 (€ 27.899,00).
