Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction 19th Century European Art including Russian Pictures, which included the work A Book On A Plinth By A Rose Bush At The Ruins by Simon Saint-Jean. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,760.00 (€ 8,536.68), 15% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Simon Saint-Jean achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Still Life of Roses, Tulips, Peonies, Carnations, Hollyhocks, Morning Glories, Dahlias and Raspberries in an Urn on a Carved Wooden Table in October 2005 with an auction result of USD 251,200.00 (€ 209,420.59).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th Century European Art including Russian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Book On A Plinth By A Rose Bush At The Ruins von Simon Saint-Jean zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.760,00 (€ 8.536,68) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Simon Saint-Jean erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Still Life of Roses, Tulips, Peonies, Carnations, Hollyhocks, Morning Glories, Dahlias and Raspberries in an Urn on a Carved Wooden Table im Oktober 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 251.200,00 (€ 209.420,59).
