Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Teddy Carrington at the Violin, A Study of the Artist's Family by Dora Carrington was auctioned at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,840.00 (€ 4,480.12). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Dora Carrington achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Flowers In A Two-Handled Vase in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 59,750.00 (€ 85,950.05).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Teddy Carrington at the Violin, A Study of the Artist's Family von Dora Carrington im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.840,00 (€ 4.480,12) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Dora Carrington erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Flowers In A Two-Handled Vase im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 59.750,00 (€ 85.950,05).
