Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Derrick Greaves could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2009 for an unexpectedly low price. In the 20th Century British Art including The Olga Davenport Collection auction, the work Girl in a Green Room (The Manicure) changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,695.88) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Derrick Greaves have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Labourers with dog in February 2007 with an auction result of GBP 18,000.00 (€ 26,684.35).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Derrick Greaves konnte im März 2009 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion 20th Century British Art including The Olga Davenport Collection wechselte die Arbeit Girl in a Green Room (The Manicure) für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.695,88) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Derrick Greaves auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Labourers with dog im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 18.000,00 (€ 26.684,35).
