Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2011 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Bound sketchbook of 40 'Electrical and Engineering' watercolour studies by David Carr. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,125.00 (€ 1,347.35) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by David Carr have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Man And Machine II in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 5,702.52).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Bound sketchbook of 40 'Electrical and Engineering' watercolour studies von David Carr zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.125,00 (€ 1.347,35) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von David Carr auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Man And Machine II im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.840,00 (€ 5.702,52).
