Despite a disappointment, a good price for Stanley McMurtry
This work of art by Stanley McMurtry could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2012 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work "Oh, we talked about the recession and the econony - and what kind of day did you have Barbara, Honey?" changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 924.96) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Despite this disappointing result, "Oh, we talked about the recession and the econony - and what kind of day did you have Barbara, Honey?" is the most expensive artwork by Stanley McMurtry that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Stanley McMurtry
Dieses Kunstwerk von Stanley McMurtry konnte im Dezember 2012 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit "Oh, we talked about the recession and the econony - and what kind of day did you have Barbara, Honey?" für GBP 750,00 (€ 924,96) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist "Oh, we talked about the recession and the econony - and what kind of day did you have Barbara, Honey?" das teuerste Kunstwerk von Stanley McMurtry, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
