Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Black Circle by Terry Frost was auctioned at Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts in September this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,840.00 (€ 3,840.00). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Terry Frost achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Walk Along The Quay in July 2008 with an auction result of GBP 457,250.00 (€ 580,941.27).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Black Circle von Terry Frost im September diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Skinner Marlborough, Massachusetts versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.840,00 (€ 3.840,00) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Terry Frost erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Walk Along The Quay im Juli 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 457.250,00 (€ 580.941,27).
