Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Thrust Ii by Denis Mitchell was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2020. It changed hands for a price of GBP 23,940.00 (€ 26,725.12) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Denis Mitchell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Botallack, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 75,000.00 (€ 88,492.63).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Thrust Ii von Denis Mitchell kam im November 2020 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 23.940,00 (€ 26.725,12) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 18.000,00 – 25.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Denis Mitchell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Botallack beobachtet, die im November 2016 für GBP 75.000,00 (€ 88.492,63) versteigert wurde.
