Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Steps to the studio, Penkill House; Cappella di S. Clemente, S. Marco by Alice Boyd was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 7,012.50 (€ 8,237.88). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alice Boyd achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Thames from Cheyne Walk, probably a view from Belle Vue House in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 237,750.00 (€ 279,295.01).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Steps to the studio, Penkill House; Cappella di S. Clemente, S. Marco von Alice Boyd im März 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.012,50 (€ 8.237,88) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alice Boyd erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Thames from Cheyne Walk, probably a view from Belle Vue House im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 237.750,00 (€ 279.295,01).
