A top price for Henry Korda
When the work Mo and Me swimming by Henry Korda was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 17 times as high at GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,001.91). This high result makes Mo and Me swimming the most expensive artwork by Henry Korda that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Henry Korda
Als die Arbeit Mo and Me swimming von Henry Korda im Februar 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.001,91) mehr als 17-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Mo and Me swimming zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Henry Korda, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
