The work Untitled (Female Figure Holding a Mirror) by George Keyt was auctioned at Bonhams in London in November this year. It achieved a price of GBP 8,320.00 (€ 9,641.07), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 39%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Keyt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Triptych 1929 in October 2018 with an auction result of GBP 162,500.00 (€ 183,249.87).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 39 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Untitled (Female Figure Holding a Mirror) von George Keyt kam im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 8.320,00 (€ 9.641,07) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 39%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Keyt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Triptych 1929 im Oktober 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 162.500,00 (€ 183.249,87).
