Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Soft evening by Alfred Cohen. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 787.72) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred Cohen - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Riverview, which sold at auction in July 2010 for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,803.58).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Soft evening von Alfred Cohen zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 787,72) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred Cohen mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Riverview beobachtet, die im Juli 2010 für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.803,58) versteigert wurde.
