Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2021 Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Again I Am Me by Billy Childish. The price achieved of GBP 3,825.00 (€ 4,485.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Billy Childish achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work toward a shore in March last year with an auction result of GBP 163,800.00 (€ 194,203.34).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2021 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Again I Am Me von Billy Childish zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.825,00 (€ 4.485,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Billy Childish erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit toward a shore im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 163.800,00 (€ 194.203,34).
