A top price for Gary Bunt
When the work Reminisce by Gary Bunt was auctioned at Christies in London in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 25,200.00 (€ 29,877.44). This high result makes Reminisce the most expensive artwork by Gary Bunt that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Gary Bunt
Als die Arbeit Reminisce von Gary Bunt im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 25.200,00 (€ 29.877,44) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Reminisce zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Gary Bunt, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
