Auction result well in line with expectations
In October last year Bonhams in London held the auction Post-War & Contemporary Art, which included the work The Gospel Truth by Ernie Barnes. The price achieved of GBP 756,300.00 (€ 881,081.13) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 600,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ernie Barnes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sugar Shack in May last year with an auction result of USD 15,275,000.00 (€ 14,234,460.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Post-War & Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Gospel Truth von Ernie Barnes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 756.300,00 (€ 881.081,13) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 600.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ernie Barnes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sugar Shack im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 15.275.000,00 (€ 14.234.460,91).
