Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Night Visitor by Desmond Morris was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 1,152.00 (€ 1,344.03) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Desmond Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Courtship in November 2021 with an auction result of EUR 56,250.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Night Visitor von Desmond Morris kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.152,00 (€ 1.344,03) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Desmond Morris erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Courtship im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 56.250,00.
