Sold at the upper estimate price
The work The Lobster Dance by Eileen Agar was sold in the The Delighted Eye: Works from the Collection of Allen and Beryl Freer auction at Christies in London in January 2020. The auction ended at the price of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,568.47), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. 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).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit The Lobster Dance von Eileen Agar wurde im Januar 2020 in der Auktion The Delighted Eye: Works from the Collection of Allen and Beryl Freer bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.568,47) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. 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).
