Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
The work H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, 1965 by Cecil Beaton was worth GBP 5,040.00 (€ 7,292.80) to a buyer in June 2006. This price was achieved in the auction Silver, Furniture and Works of Art from the Collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 800.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cecil Beaton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 in September 2017 with an auction result of GBP 93,750.00 (€ 106,360.58).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Die Arbeit H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, 1965 von Cecil Beaton war einem Käufer im Juni 2006 GBP 5.040,00 (€ 7.292,80) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Silver, Furniture and Works of Art from the Collection of H.R.H. The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cecil Beaton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, 1963 im September 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 93.750,00 (€ 106.360,58).
