Sold at the upper estimate price
The work (I) Untitled(Ii) Untitled by Al Taylor was sold in the First Open: Post-War & Contemporary Art Online auction at Christies in London in March 2021. The auction ended at the price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,048.45), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Admittedly, works by Al Taylor have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Peabody Group, #9 - 1992 in October last year with an auction result of EUR 40,672.00.

Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.048,45) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Al Taylor auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Peabody Group, #9 - 1992 im Oktober letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 40.672,00.
