A top price for Anne-Karin Furunes - as previously expected

The work Pictures of Portraits Series 3 Unknown I by Anne-Karin Furunes was sold in the Nordic Art auction at Christies in London in May 2008. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,540.33) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Pictures of Portraits Series 3 Unknown I is the most expensive artwork by Anne-Karin Furunes that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Die Arbeit Pictures of Portraits Series 3 Unknown I von Anne-Karin Furunes wurde im Mai 2008 in der Auktion Nordic Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.540,33) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Pictures of Portraits Series 3 Unknown I das teuerste Kunstwerk von Anne-Karin Furunes, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
