Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Fine Photographs, which included the work Diana Wynyard, Rex Harrison and Anton Walbrook 'surrealised' in Noel Coward's Design for Living, 1939, printed later by Angus McBean. The price achieved of GBP 587.50 (€ 942.72) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Angus McBean achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached 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 Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Fine Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Diana Wynyard, Rex Harrison and Anton Walbrook 'surrealised' in Noel Coward's Design for Living, 1939, printed later von Angus McBean zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 587,50 (€ 942,72) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Angus McBean erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn, 1951 im September 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.336,20).
