In October 2000 Christies in London held the auction 19th and 20th Century Photographs, which included the work B.B. King, NY, 1960s, printed 1992 by Linda McCartney. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,935.00 (€ 8,435.33), 65% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Linda McCartney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work My Love, London, 1978, which sold at auction in September 2018 for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,250.84).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 65 % übertroffen
Im Oktober 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion 19th and 20th Century Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit B.B. King, NY, 1960s, printed 1992 von Linda McCartney zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.935,00 (€ 8.435,33) und damit 65% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Linda McCartney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit My Love, London, 1978 beobachtet, die im September 2018 für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.250,84) versteigert wurde.
