Sold at the lower estimate price
In September 2020 Christies in London held the auction Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects, which included the work Portrait a young man by Oliver Messel. The result of GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,205.33) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oliver Messel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Mrs William "Babe" Paley (1915-1978) in September 2020 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,188.24).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im September 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait a young man von Oliver Messel zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.205,33) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oliver Messel erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Mrs William "Babe" Paley (1915-1978) im September 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.188,24).
