Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2012 Phillips in New York held the auction Under the Influence, which included the work Forever and Ever (Embrace) by Chris Bracey. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of USD 12,500.00 (€ 9,374.53) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Chris Bracey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work God Save the Queen, which sold at auction in February 2011 for GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,030.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2012 führte Phillips in New York die Auktion Under the Influence durch, in der auch die Arbeit Forever and Ever (Embrace) von Chris Bracey zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 12.500,00 (€ 9.374,53) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Chris Bracey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit God Save the Queen beobachtet, die im Februar 2011 für GBP 21.250,00 (€ 25.030,72) versteigert wurde.
