In July 2006 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art including The Studio of Humphrey Jennings, which included the work Potrait of C.P. Snow by Feliks Topolski. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 900.00 (€ 1,317.49), 50% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Feliks Topolski - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sir Winston Churchill, which sold at auction in July 2014 for GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,414.60).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 50 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art including The Studio of Humphrey Jennings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Potrait of C.P. Snow von Feliks Topolski zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 900,00 (€ 1.317,49) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Feliks Topolski mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sir Winston Churchill beobachtet, die im Juli 2014 für GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.414,60) versteigert wurde.
