Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Oliver Messel could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2020 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects auction, the work Portrait of Nadia Nerina as Princess Aurora in the Royal Ballet production of The Sleeping Beauty changed hands for GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,102.66) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. 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).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Oliver Messel konnte im September 2020 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of Nadia Nerina as Princess Aurora in the Royal Ballet production of The Sleeping Beauty für GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.102,66) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. 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).
