Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Omen by Harold Cohen was sold in the Modern/British Art Online auction at Christies in London in November 2017. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,837.87) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Admittedly, works by Harold Cohen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Abstract Figure in July this year with an auction result of GBP 12,800.00 (€ 14,933.72).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Omen von Harold Cohen wurde im November 2017 in der Auktion Modern/British Art Online bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.837,87) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Harold Cohen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Abstract Figure im Juli diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.800,00 (€ 14.933,72).
