A top price for Deborah Poynton
When the work The lesson by Deborah Poynton was auctioned at Christies in Amsterdam in September 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at - in retrospect quite modest - EUR 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at EUR 20,000.00. This high result makes The lesson the most expensive artwork by Deborah Poynton that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Deborah Poynton
Als die Arbeit The lesson von Deborah Poynton im September 2012 bei Christies in Amsterdam versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – EUR 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit EUR 20.000,00 mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The lesson zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Deborah Poynton, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
