Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 1945 (still life) by Ben Nicholson was sold in the Modern British Day Auction auction at Sothebys in London in June last year. The price achieved of GBP 365,400.00 (€ 424,490.86) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300,000.00 – 500,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ben Nicholson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work April 57 (Arbia 2) in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 3,749,000.00 (€ 4,423,451.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 1945 (still life) von Ben Nicholson wurde im Juni letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern British Day Auction bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 365.400,00 (€ 424.490,86) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300.000,00 – 500.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ben Nicholson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit April 57 (Arbia 2) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.749.000,00 (€ 4.423.451,41).
