Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction European & British Art, which included the work Gorillas by David Shepherd. The price achieved of GBP 37,800.00 (€ 45,087.47) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Shepherd - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work After the Rains - Evening in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia, which sold at auction in December 2012 for GBP 115,250.00 (€ 142,135.26).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion European & British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gorillas von David Shepherd zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 37.800,00 (€ 45.087,47) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von David Shepherd mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit After the Rains - Evening in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia beobachtet, die im Dezember 2012 für GBP 115.250,00 (€ 142.135,26) versteigert wurde.
