Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2020 Christies in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Truth or Fiction by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale. It changed hands for a price of GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,945.42) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work And all generations shall call her blessed, which sold at auction in December 2020 for GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,683.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Truth or Fiction von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 20.945,42) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit And all generations shall call her blessed beobachtet, die im Dezember 2020 für GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.683,57) versteigert wurde.
