A top price for Barnett Freedman
When the work On The Cliffs At Dover by Barnett Freedman was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,920.48). This high result makes On The Cliffs At Dover the most expensive artwork by Barnett Freedman that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Barnett Freedman
Als die Arbeit On The Cliffs At Dover von Barnett Freedman im November 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.920,48) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht On The Cliffs At Dover zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Barnett Freedman, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
