Auction result well in line with expectations
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British Art, which included the work Mumps Station, Wakes Week 50.4 x 76.2 cm. (19 3/4 x 30 in.) by Helen Bradley. The price achieved of GBP 51,200.00 (€ 59,329.67) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Helen Bradley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Oh it's the King and Queen, which sold at auction in April 2019 for GBP 162,500.00 (€ 189,034.46).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mumps Station, Wakes Week 50.4 x 76.2 cm. (19 3/4 x 30 in.) von Helen Bradley zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 51.200,00 (€ 59.329,67) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Helen Bradley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Oh it's the King and Queen beobachtet, die im April 2019 für GBP 162.500,00 (€ 189.034,46) versteigert wurde.
