Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2015 Sothebys in London held the auction Made In Britain, which included the work Surrealist Self-Portrait, 1949 by Angus McBean. The price achieved of GBP 4,000.00 (€ 5,530.21) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Angus McBean - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Audrey Hepburn, 1951, which sold at auction in September 2019 for GBP 16,250.00 (€ 18,336.20).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2015 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made In Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Surrealist Self-Portrait, 1949 von Angus McBean zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.000,00 (€ 5.530,21) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Angus McBean mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Audrey Hepburn, 1951 beobachtet, die im September 2019 für GBP 16.250,00 (€ 18.336,20) versteigert wurde.
