This artwork by Gillian Ayres achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March last year. In the Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale auction, the work Orange, Yellow, Black, Blue sold for GBP 18,900.00 (€ 22,408.08) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 10,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Gillian Ayres - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Nimbus, which sold at auction in November 2018 for GBP 75,000.00 (€ 84,597.72).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Gillian Ayres erzielte im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale wurde die Arbeit Orange, Yellow, Black, Blue für GBP 18.900,00 (€ 22.408,08) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 10.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Gillian Ayres mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Nimbus beobachtet, die im November 2018 für GBP 75.000,00 (€ 84.597,72) versteigert wurde.
