11. Jul - 11. Jul 2013
Estimate: 600 - 800 GBP
Price realised: 375 GBP
Humphrey Ocean (b. 1951)
Tin Can Island
signed, inscribed and dated 'For Tony Reichardt/Humphrey Ocean 1982' (lower left)
collage with postage stamps, colour pencil, ink and pastel
10¼ x 11¼ in. (26.6 x 28.5 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Humphrey Ocean could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2013 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Tin Can Island changed hands for GBP 375.00 (€ 428.50) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Humphrey Ocean - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Biashara Street, Nairobi, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,106.31).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Humphrey Ocean konnte im Juli 2013 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wechselte die Arbeit Tin Can Island für GBP 375,00 (€ 428,50) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Humphrey Ocean mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Biashara Street, Nairobi beobachtet, die im Juni 2011 für GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.106,31) versteigert wurde.
