Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Willow & Grain, from Prelude to 1000 Temporary Objects of Our Time by Colin Self was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 353.93). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Colin Self achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study For A Diorama, Possibly Including Mickey Mouse in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 4,800.00 (€ 7,051.81).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Willow & Grain, from Prelude to 1000 Temporary Objects of Our Time von Colin Self im Oktober 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 240,00 (€ 353,93) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Colin Self erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study For A Diorama, Possibly Including Mickey Mouse im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 4.800,00 (€ 7.051,81).
