Upper estimate price exceeded by 52 %.
In June last year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Sitting Figures in Robes I by Lynn Chadwick. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 151,500.00 (€ 175,999.90), 52% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Lynn Chadwick achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Jubilee IV in November this year with an auction result of USD 3,317,000.00 (€ 3,040,887.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 52 % übertroffen
Im Juni letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sitting Figures in Robes I von Lynn Chadwick zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 151.500,00 (€ 175.999,90) und damit 52% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Lynn Chadwick erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Jubilee IV im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.317.000,00 (€ 3.040.887,42).
