This artwork by Henry Stacy Marks achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in September 2021. In the An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection auction, the work Light Literature; And Heavy Literature sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,108.45) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Stacy Marks achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bookworm in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 44,650.00 (€ 70,775.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 75 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Stacy Marks erzielte im September 2021 bei Christies einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection wurde die Arbeit Light Literature; And Heavy Literature für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.108,45) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Stacy Marks erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bookworm im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 44.650,00 (€ 70.775,75).
