A top price for Florence Henri

When the work Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928 by Florence Henri was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 24,500.00 (€ 31,165.07). This high result makes Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928 the most expensive artwork by Florence Henri that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Florence Henri

Als die Arbeit Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928 von Florence Henri im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 24.500,00 (€ 31.165,07) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Composition (bobbins and mirrors), 1928 zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Florence Henri, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
