Auction result well in line with expectations
In January 2020 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art Evening Sale, which included the work Fish Stall, Glasgow by Edward Burra. The price achieved of GBP 150,000.00 (€ 178,423.33) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 120,000.00 – 180,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Burra achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Zoot Suits in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 2,057,250.00 (€ 2,275,964.73).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Januar 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art Evening Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fish Stall, Glasgow von Edward Burra zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 150.000,00 (€ 178.423,33) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 120.000,00 – 180.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Burra erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Zoot Suits im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.057.250,00 (€ 2.275.964,73).
