A top price for Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith
When the work Feeding Pigeons, St. Paul'S Church Yard by Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith was auctioned at Sothebys in Toronto in December 2009, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - CAD 10,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at CAD 45,000.00 (€ 30,013.61). This high result makes Feeding Pigeons, St. Paul'S Church Yard the most expensive artwork by Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith
Als die Arbeit Feeding Pigeons, St. Paul'S Church Yard von Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith im Dezember 2009 bei Sothebys in Toronto versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – CAD 10.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit CAD 45.000,00 (€ 30.013,61) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Feeding Pigeons, St. Paul'S Church Yard zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
