Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work Room In Bombed City by Elisabeth Vellacott. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,088.60) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elisabeth Vellacott - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Dwarf, which sold at auction in April 2017 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,875.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Room In Bombed City von Elisabeth Vellacott zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.088,60) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Elisabeth Vellacott mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Dwarf beobachtet, die im April 2017 für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.875,17) versteigert wurde.
