Auction result well in line with expectations
The work The Knife Thrower by Allen Jones was sold in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, London auction at Christies in London in July last year. The price achieved of GBP 37,800.00 (€ 45,139.91) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Allen Jones achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Hatstand, Table And Chair (I) Hatstand (Ii) Table (Iii) Chair in February 2013 with an auction result of GBP 2,169,250.00 (€ 2,519,706.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit The Knife Thrower von Allen Jones wurde im Juli letzten Jahres in der Auktion Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale, London bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 45.139,91) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Allen Jones erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Hatstand, Table And Chair (I) Hatstand (Ii) Table (Iii) Chair im Februar 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.169.250,00 (€ 2.519.706,86).
