A top price for Thierry Poncelet

When the work A gentleman setter by Thierry Poncelet was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 14 times as high at GBP 32,750.00 (€ 37,770.96). This high result makes A gentleman setter the most expensive artwork by Thierry Poncelet that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Thierry Poncelet

Als die Arbeit A gentleman setter von Thierry Poncelet im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 32.750,00 (€ 37.770,96) mehr als 14-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A gentleman setter zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Thierry Poncelet, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
