Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2017 Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale, which included the work 1919 (Blue Bowl in Shadow) by Ben Nicholson. The price achieved of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 170,272.31) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ben Nicholson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work April 57 (Arbia 2) in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 3,749,000.00 (€ 4,423,451.41).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2017 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit 1919 (Blue Bowl in Shadow) von Ben Nicholson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 150.000,00 (€ 170.272,31) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ben Nicholson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit April 57 (Arbia 2) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.749.000,00 (€ 4.423.451,41).
