A top price for Charles Paine
When the work Boat Race by Charles Paine was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than ten times as high at GBP 30,000.00 (€ 37,299.74). This high result makes Boat Race the most expensive artwork by Charles Paine that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Charles Paine
Als die Arbeit Boat Race von Charles Paine im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 30.000,00 (€ 37.299,74) mehr als zehnmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Boat Race zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Charles Paine, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
