Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Storming the Castle by George Bernard O'Neill was sold in the British Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art auction at Christies in London in December 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,500.00 (€ 5,318.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Bernard O'Neill achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Market Day, the arrival of the Hippodrome in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 47,800.00 (€ 71,140.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Storming the Castle von George Bernard O'Neill wurde im Dezember 2019 in der Auktion British Art: Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.500,00 (€ 5.318,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Bernard O'Neill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Market Day, the arrival of the Hippodrome im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 47.800,00 (€ 71.140,72).
