Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work David Hockney by Adrian George was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2018, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,819.92). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Adrian George - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work David Hockney, which sold at auction in February 2008 for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,809.71).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit David Hockney von Adrian George im November 2018 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.819,92) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Adrian George mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit David Hockney beobachtet, die im Februar 2008 für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.809,71) versteigert wurde.
