Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2007 Christies in London held the auction Modern and Contemporary Australian ArtIncluding Works by New Zealand and South African Artists, which included the work Boys Fishing On A Bridge by Frances Hodgkins. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,397.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frances Hodgkins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christmas Tree in January 2020 with an auction result of GBP 162,500.00 (€ 193,291.94).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern and Contemporary Australian ArtIncluding Works by New Zealand and South African Artists durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boys Fishing On A Bridge von Frances Hodgkins zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.397,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frances Hodgkins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christmas Tree im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 162.500,00 (€ 193.291,94).
