Upper estimate price exceeded by 40 %.
The work Riabouchinska From The Wings by Laura Knight was auctioned at Bonhams in March this year. It achieved a price of GBP 7,012.50 (€ 7,978.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 40%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Laura Knight achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Wind And Sun in July 2009 with an auction result of GBP 914,850.00 (€ 1,038,080.52).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 40 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Riabouchinska From The Wings von Laura Knight kam im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 7.012,50 (€ 7.978,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 40%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Laura Knight erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Wind And Sun im Juli 2009 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 914.850,00 (€ 1.038.080,52).
