Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Merlin James could be acquired at Bonhams in London in April 2021 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Contemporary Art auction, the work 49 changed hands for GBP 2,422.50 (€ 2,786.58) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Merlin James - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work House, which sold at auction in January 2021 for GBP 7,650.00 (€ 8,651.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Merlin James konnte im April 2021 bei Bonhams in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Contemporary Art wechselte die Arbeit 49 für GBP 2.422,50 (€ 2.786,58) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Merlin James mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit House beobachtet, die im Januar 2021 für GBP 7.650,00 (€ 8.651,09) versteigert wurde.
