Sold at the lower estimate price
In October 2018 Phillips in London held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work Flexus by Mark Francis. The result of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,276.91) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mark Francis - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Symbiosis (Mesh), which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 32,450.00 (€ 41,228.09).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Oktober 2018 führte Phillips in London die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Flexus von Mark Francis zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.276,91) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mark Francis mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Symbiosis (Mesh) beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 32.450,00 (€ 41.228,09) versteigert wurde.
