A top price for Hilary Pecis
When the work Fish and Bird by Hilary Pecis was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 942,500.00 (€ 1,117,439.83). This high result makes Fish and Bird the most expensive artwork by Hilary Pecis that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Hilary Pecis
Als die Arbeit Fish and Bird von Hilary Pecis im März letzten Jahres bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 942.500,00 (€ 1.117.439,83) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Fish and Bird zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Hilary Pecis, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
