Auction result well in line with expectations
In December this year Bonhams in London held the auction The Age of SpeedThe Grosvenor School and the Avant-garde, which included the work Underground 2 by Lill Tschudi. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 6,144.00 (€ 7,077.65) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lill Tschudi - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fixing the Wires, which sold at auction in December this year for GBP 23,040.00 (€ 26,541.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Age of SpeedThe Grosvenor School and the Avant-garde durch, in der auch die Arbeit Underground 2 von Lill Tschudi zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 6.144,00 (€ 7.077,65) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lill Tschudi mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Fixing the Wires beobachtet, die im Dezember diesen Jahres für GBP 23.040,00 (€ 26.541,20) versteigert wurde.
