Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Theory of Flight by Peter Halley was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April last year. It changed hands for a price of GBP 138,600.00 (€ 165,275.60) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Halley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Yellow Cell With Triple Conduit, which sold at auction in March 2018 for GBP 513,000.00 (€ 584,078.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Theory of Flight von Peter Halley kam im April letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 138.600,00 (€ 165.275,60) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Halley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Yellow Cell With Triple Conduit beobachtet, die im März 2018 für GBP 513.000,00 (€ 584.078,81) versteigert wurde.
