This artwork by Harold Riley achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December 2013. In the Modern British& Irish Art auction, the work The King'S Cinema, Salford sold for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,028.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harold Riley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ritz, Salford, which sold at auction in July 2011 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,429.49).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Harold Riley erzielte im Dezember 2013 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British& Irish Art wurde die Arbeit The King'S Cinema, Salford für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 12.028,45) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Harold Riley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ritz, Salford beobachtet, die im Juli 2011 für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.429,49) versteigert wurde.
