Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Elvis in Uniform, 1958 by Bill Ray was sold in the The Landscape of a Mind: A Private Collector's Surreal Vision auction at Christies in London in June 2019. The price achieved of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,826.74) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Bill Ray - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Faye Dunaway & Steve McQueen (at the set of 'Thomas Crown Affair'), which sold at auction in December 2016 for EUR 5,456.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Elvis in Uniform, 1958 von Bill Ray wurde im Juni 2019 in der Auktion The Landscape of a Mind: A Private Collector's Surreal Vision bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.826,74) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Bill Ray mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Faye Dunaway & Steve McQueen (at the set of 'Thomas Crown Affair') beobachtet, die im Dezember 2016 für EUR 5.456,00 versteigert wurde.
