Auction result misses estimated price range
In December this year a collector was able to acquire the work The Press - looking for “Human Interest”. View artists as conmen and parasites + spend time trying to prove this by Richard Hamilton for GBP 2,540.00 (€ 2,925.98). This price was achieved in the auction New Now at Phillips in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Hamilton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Epiphany in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 557,000.00 (€ 768,020.27).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Dezember diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The Press - looking for “Human Interest”. View artists as conmen and parasites + spend time trying to prove this von Richard Hamilton für GBP 2.540,00 (€ 2.925,98) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion New Now bei Phillips in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Hamilton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Epiphany im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 557.000,00 (€ 768.020,27).
