Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Opera Singer by Ben Sunlight was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2014, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 500.00 (€ 606.62). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ben Sunlight - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer, which sold at auction in February 2014 for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,274.83).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Opera Singer von Ben Sunlight im Februar 2014 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 500,00 (€ 606,62) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Ben Sunlight mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Summer beobachtet, die im Februar 2014 für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.274,83) versteigert wurde.
