Auction result well in line with expectations

In May 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Photographs, which included the work 'Optogenome I - How Do Chemicals Feel', 2011 by Marcus Lyon. The price achieved of GBP 9,375.00 (€ 10,767.57) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Marcus Lyon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Exodus VI, West Lamma Channel, South China Sea, 2011 in May 2013 with an auction result of GBP 52,275.00 (€ 61,117.64).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Mai 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Optogenome I - How Do Chemicals Feel', 2011 von Marcus Lyon zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.375,00 (€ 10.767,57) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Marcus Lyon auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Exodus VI, West Lamma Channel, South China Sea, 2011 im Mai 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 52.275,00 (€ 61.117,64).
