A top price for Bruce Bairnsfather - as previously expected
In March 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer, which included the work If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard') by Bruce Bairnsfather. The auction ended at the price of GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,707.83), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard') is the most expensive artwork by Bruce Bairnsfather that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer durch, in der auch die Arbeit If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard') von Bruce Bairnsfather zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.707,83) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist If Only They’D Make ‘Old Bill’ President Of Those Tribunals ('Well What'S Your Job Me Lad?' | 'Making Spots For Rocking Horses, Sir' | 'Three Months' | 'Exemption, Sir?' | 'Nao! Exemption Be ---D, Three Months Hard') das teuerste Kunstwerk von Bruce Bairnsfather, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
