Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction A Living Legacy: Irish Art from the Collection of Brian P. Burns, which included the work The Grandmother by Frank McKelvey. The price achieved of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 6,767.82) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 5,000.00 – 7,000.00. Admittedly, works by Frank McKelvey have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The sunlit bench in May 2007 with an auction result of GBP 40,800.00 (€ 60,039.96).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion A Living Legacy: Irish Art from the Collection of Brian P. Burns durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Grandmother von Frank McKelvey zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 6.767,82) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 5.000,00 – 7.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Frank McKelvey auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The sunlit bench im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.800,00 (€ 60.039,96).
