Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2020 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art, which included this untitled work by Francis Davison. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,134.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Davison - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Untitled 9-9 (Fawn, White, Red And Green), which sold at auction in November 2010 for GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,709.36).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art durch, in der auch diese Arbeit ohne Titel von Francis Davison zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.134,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Davison mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Untitled 9-9 (Fawn, White, Red And Green) beobachtet, die im November 2010 für GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.709,36) versteigert wurde.
