Despite a disappointment, a good price for Eileen Agar
This work of art by Eileen Agar could be acquired at Christies in Hong Kong in April this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the Making Her Mark: 20th/21st Century Women Artists auction, the work Taking Aim changed hands for HKD 176,400.00 (€ 180,138.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of HKD 180,000.00 – 280,000.00. Despite this disappointing result, Taking Aim is the most expensive artwork by Eileen Agar that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Eileen Agar
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eileen Agar konnte im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in Hong Kong für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Making Her Mark: 20th/21st Century Women Artists wechselte die Arbeit Taking Aim für HKD 176.400,00 (€ 180.138,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von HKD 180.000,00 – 280.000,00. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist Taking Aim das teuerste Kunstwerk von Eileen Agar, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
