Auction result well in line with expectations

In February 2012 Christies in London held the auction Hockney on Paper, which included the work Caribbean Tea Time, from Moving Focus series (Tokyo 288) by David Hockney. It changed hands for a price of GBP 55,250.00 (€ 65,969.96) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Hockney achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nichols Canyon in December 2020 with an auction result of USD 41,067,500.00 (€ 33,579,313.16).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Februar 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Hockney on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit Caribbean Tea Time, from Moving Focus series (Tokyo 288) von David Hockney zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 55.250,00 (€ 65.969,96) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Hockney erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nichols Canyon im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 41.067.500,00 (€ 33.579.313,16).
