In March 2020 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work The Angry Major by Gary Bunt. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,174.79), 63% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gary Bunt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Reminisce, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 25,200.00 (€ 29,877.44).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 63 % übertroffen
Im März 2020 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Angry Major von Gary Bunt zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.174,79) und damit 63% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Gary Bunt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Reminisce beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 25.200,00 (€ 29.877,44) versteigert wurde.
