Description
HOWARD HODGKIN (1932-2017) Summer etching and aquatint with carborundum in colours, with extensive hand-colouring, 1997, on wove paper, signed with initials and dated in pencil, numbered 37/80 (there were also ten artist's proofs), printed and hand-coloured by Jack Shirreff at the 107 Workshop, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Image & Sheet 285 x 370 mm.
Upper estimate price exceeded by 80 %.
This artwork by Howard Hodgkin achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March this year. In the Prints and Multiples auction, the work Summer sold for GBP 6,300.00 (€ 7,167.47) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Howard Hodgkin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Goodbye to the Bay of Naples in October 2017 with an auction result of GBP 1,688,750.00 (€ 1,925,505.56).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 80 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Howard Hodgkin erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Prints and Multiples wurde die Arbeit Summer für GBP 6.300,00 (€ 7.167,47) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Howard Hodgkin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Goodbye to the Bay of Naples im Oktober 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.688.750,00 (€ 1.925.505,56).
