Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2010 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Bust of a woman in a relief; A deep plate with the portrait of lady; A plate with a painted sun; and A plate depicting Black Head, County Clare by Quentin Bell. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 600.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 625.00 (€ 760.06). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Quentin Bell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vase, which sold at auction in July 2006 for GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,756.66).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bust of a woman in a relief; A deep plate with the portrait of lady; A plate with a painted sun; and A plate depicting Black Head, County Clare von Quentin Bell zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 600,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 625,00 (€ 760,06) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Quentin Bell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vase beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.756,66) versteigert wurde.
