Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Angus McBean could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Photographs auction, the work Surrealist Self-Portrait, 1949 changed hands for GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,636.19) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. 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 verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Angus McBean konnte im Mai 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Photographs wechselte die Arbeit Surrealist Self-Portrait, 1949 für GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.636,19) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. 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).
