Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2018 Christies in London held the auction Contemporary Edition, which included the work A small group of portraits of the Artist's Mother (Four Works) by Celia Paul. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,123.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Celia Paul achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work My Mother Facing in October last year with an auction result of GBP 50,400.00 (€ 58,715.44).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Contemporary Edition durch, in der auch die Arbeit A small group of portraits of the Artist's Mother (Four Works) von Celia Paul zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.123,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Celia Paul erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit My Mother Facing im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 50.400,00 (€ 58.715,44).
