In December 2006 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art & Dreaming Spires; Watercolours of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, which included the work Ship Repair Dock, Glasgow by Donald Bain. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,137.14), 44% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Donald Bain - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Reflections High Tide, which sold at auction in November 2021 for GBP 5,040.00 (€ 5,917.43).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 44 % übertroffen
Im Dezember 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art & Dreaming Spires; Watercolours of Oxford and Cambridge Colleges durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ship Repair Dock, Glasgow von Donald Bain zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.137,14) und damit 44% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Donald Bain mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Reflections High Tide beobachtet, die im November 2021 für GBP 5.040,00 (€ 5.917,43) versteigert wurde.
