Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Figure In Space by Reg Butler was sold in the Refining Taste: Works Selected by Danny Katz auction at Sothebys in London in May 2020. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 43,750.00 (€ 48,567.31) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Reg Butler - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Woman Standing, which sold at auction in June 2014 for GBP 146,500.00 (€ 183,044.74).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Figure In Space von Reg Butler wurde im Mai 2020 in der Auktion Refining Taste: Works Selected by Danny Katz bei Sothebys in London versteigert.
