A top price for Barry Mason
When the work The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds by Barry Mason was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,787.29). This high result makes The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds the most expensive artwork by Barry Mason that we have observed at auctions so far.

Als die Arbeit The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds von Barry Mason im Mai 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.787,29) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The extreme clipper Leander bowling along in the trade winds zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Barry Mason, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
