Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Hela by Denis Mitchell was sold in the Made in Britain auction at Sothebys in London in September 2019. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,385.14) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Denis Mitchell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Botallack in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 88,492.63).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Hela von Denis Mitchell wurde im September 2019 in der Auktion Made in Britain bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.385,14) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Denis Mitchell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Botallack im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 88.492,63).
