Auction result well in line with expectations
In July this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Portrait of Eva Leech by Edward Wolfe. The price achieved of GBP 3,584.00 (€ 4,181.44) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Wolfe - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Curtis Thomas, which sold at auction in July 2006 for GBP 9,600.00 (€ 14,053.27).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of Eva Leech von Edward Wolfe zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.584,00 (€ 4.181,44) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Wolfe mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Curtis Thomas beobachtet, die im Juli 2006 für GBP 9.600,00 (€ 14.053,27) versteigert wurde.
