Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Sikar II by Gillian Ayres was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Bonhams in London in April last year. The price achieved of GBP 1,275.00 (€ 1,520.39) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gillian Ayres achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Nimbus in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,597.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Sikar II von Gillian Ayres wurde im April letzten Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.275,00 (€ 1.520,39) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gillian Ayres erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Nimbus im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.597,72).
