Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Eileen Agar achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May last year. In the The Collection of Sir Nicholas Goodison - British Art: Innovation and Craftsmanship auction, the work Moving Forms sold for GBP 12,600.00 (€ 14,822.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eileen Agar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Taking Aim in April this year with an auction result of HKD 176,400.00 (€ 180,138.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eileen Agar erzielte im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion The Collection of Sir Nicholas Goodison - British Art: Innovation and Craftsmanship wurde die Arbeit Moving Forms für GBP 12.600,00 (€ 14.822,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eileen Agar erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Taking Aim im April diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 176.400,00 (€ 180.138,91).
