Auction result well in line with expectations
In February 2019 Sothebys in London held the auction The Fine Art Society: 142 Years on New Bond Street, which included the work Untitled (Aircraft Carrier) by Ian Hamilton Finlay. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,561.76) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Other works by Ian Hamilton Finlay have already achieved higher auction prices, for example, in October 2012 the work without title was auctioned for GBP 7,500.00 (€ 9,324.93).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Februar 2019 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Fine Art Society: 142 Years on New Bond Street durch, in der auch die Arbeit Untitled (Aircraft Carrier) von Ian Hamilton Finlay zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 5.000,00 – 8.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.561,76) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Andere Arbeiten von Ian Hamilton Finlay konnten bereits höhere Auktionspreise erzielen, so wurde im Oktober 2012 die Arbeit ohne Titel für GBP 7.500,00 (€ 9.324,93) versteigert.
