The work Opera Dog by Barry Flanagan was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in March last year. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 151,200.00 (€ 179,264.62), 51% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Barry Flanagan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Nijinski Hare in March 2019 with an auction result of GBP 1,451,250.00 (€ 1,684,421.98).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Opera Dog von Barry Flanagan wurde im März letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 151.200,00 (€ 179.264,62) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Barry Flanagan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Nijinski Hare im März 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.451.250,00 (€ 1.684.421,98).
