The work Two's Company D by Howard Hodgkin was sold in the Prints and Multiples auction at Christies in London in March this year. It achieved a price of GBP 4,788.00 (€ 5,447.27), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 60%. 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 60 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Two's Company D von Howard Hodgkin wurde im März diesen Jahres in der Auktion Prints and Multiples bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.788,00 (€ 5.447,27) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 60%. 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).
