Auction result misses estimated price range
In July 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Birds eggs in a nest on a grassy bank; and Birds eggs in a nest on a sandy bank by Ben Hold for GBP 600.00 (€ 762.31). This price was achieved in the auction Christie's Interiors at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00 set by the auction house. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ben Hold - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Glorious Twelfth, which sold at auction in July 2008 for GBP 1,750.00 (€ 2,223.39).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Juli 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Birds eggs in a nest on a grassy bank; and Birds eggs in a nest on a sandy bank von Ben Hold für GBP 600,00 (€ 762,31) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Ben Hold mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Glorious Twelfth beobachtet, die im Juli 2008 für GBP 1.750,00 (€ 2.223,39) versteigert wurde.
