Auction result misses estimated price range
In October last year a collector was able to acquire the work Double Sided Study For 'Footballers Prefer Shell' by Paul Nash for GBP 14,000.00 (€ 16,309.84). This price was achieved in the auction Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Nash achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bridge, Romney Marsh in October last year with an auction result of GBP 352,800.00 (€ 411,008.09).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober letzten Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Double Sided Study For 'Footballers Prefer Shell' von Paul Nash für GBP 14.000,00 (€ 16.309,84) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Nash erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bridge, Romney Marsh im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 352.800,00 (€ 411.008,09).
