Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2018 Christies in London held the auction Modern | British & Irish Art, which included the work Hurrying Summer by Helen Layfield Bradley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,808.75) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Helen Layfield Bradley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Our First Morning in Blackpool in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 94,100.00 (€ 131,764.35).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2018 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern | British & Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Hurrying Summer von Helen Layfield Bradley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 12.808,75) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Helen Layfield Bradley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Our First Morning in Blackpool im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 94.100,00 (€ 131.764,35).
