Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Thou Shalt Not Steal by Gilbert Spencer was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2011. It changed hands for a price of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,042.36) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Spencer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Man at a sluice gate on the Thames in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 37,500.00 (€ 42,695.82).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Thou Shalt Not Steal von Gilbert Spencer kam im Juni 2011 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.042,36) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gilbert Spencer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Man at a sluice gate on the Thames im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 37.500,00 (€ 42.695,82).
