Price realised: 1.320 GBP
Elisabeth Collins (1904-2000)
Woman by the Sea
signed 'Elisabeth Collins' (lower right)
pencil and ink
20 x 15 in. (50.8 x 38 cm.)
Executed circa 1945.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 65 %.

In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951, which included the work Woman By The Sea by Elisabeth Collins. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,960.24), 65% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Elisabeth Collins; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Woman Reading In A Pond sold at auction in November 2006 with the realized price of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.65).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 65 % übertroffen

Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion The Poetry of Crisis; The Peter Nahum Collection of British Surrealist and Avant-Garde Art 1930-1951 durch, in der auch die Arbeit Woman By The Sea von Elisabeth Collins zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.320,00 (€ 1.960,24) und damit 65% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Elisabeth Collins; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A Woman Reading In A Pond im November 2006 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.316,65).
