Auction result well in line with expectations
In October this year Christies in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work Teddy Boy and Girl by Lynn Chadwick. The price achieved of GBP 819,000.00 (€ 940,439.53) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 700,000.00 – 1,000,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lynn Chadwick - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Jubilee IV, which sold at auction in November this year for USD 3,317,000.00 (€ 3,040,887.42).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Teddy Boy and Girl von Lynn Chadwick zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 819.000,00 (€ 940.439,53) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 700.000,00 – 1.000.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Lynn Chadwick mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Jubilee IV beobachtet, die im November diesen Jahres für USD 3.317.000,00 (€ 3.040.887,42) versteigert wurde.
