Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work Darling, I Think We Must Be In Battersea Park, 1948 by Angus McBean. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,419.10) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Angus McBean have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Audrey Hepburn, 1951 in September 2019 with an auction result of GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,336.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Darling, I Think We Must Be In Battersea Park, 1948 von Angus McBean zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.419,10) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Angus McBean auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn, 1951 im September 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.336,20).
