The work A stage design for the Royal Ballet production of Sleeping Beauty by Oliver Messel was sold in the Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects auction at Christies in London in September 2020. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 750.00 (€ 827.00), 25% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit A stage design for the Royal Ballet production of Sleeping Beauty von Oliver Messel wurde im September 2020 in der Auktion Snowdon: A Life in Art and Objects bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 827,00) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
