Auction result misses estimated price range
In June 2018 a collector was able to acquire the work Life's Picture History of Western Man by Alfred Jensen for GBP 56,250.00 (€ 63,572.09). This price was achieved in the auction Post-War to Present at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Alfred Jensen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Heaven; Per I and II in September 2013 with an auction result of USD 477,750.00 (€ 352,973.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juni 2018 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Life's Picture History of Western Man von Alfred Jensen für GBP 56.250,00 (€ 63.572,09) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Post-War to Present bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Alfred Jensen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Heaven; Per I and II im September 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 477.750,00 (€ 352.973,77).
