The work Frozen Estuary, Oyster Smack, Caroline, 1947 (Version Y) by Billy Childish was auctioned at Bonhams in London in October this year. It achieved a price of GBP 10,240.00 (€ 11,758.36), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 46%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Billy Childish achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work toward a shore in March last year with an auction result of GBP 163,800.00 (€ 194,203.34).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 46 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Frozen Estuary, Oyster Smack, Caroline, 1947 (Version Y) von Billy Childish kam im Oktober diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 10.240,00 (€ 11.758,36) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 46%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Billy Childish erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit toward a shore im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 163.800,00 (€ 194.203,34).
