Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Two Portrait busts, possibly depicting Annie, 1st Viscountess Cowdray (d.1932) and her sister, Gertrude, later Mrs. Thomas Kinnell by Ivan Mestrovic was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,742.58). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ivan Mestrovic achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Study Of Woman Bending in May 2020 with an auction result of GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,528.02).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Two Portrait busts, possibly depicting Annie, 1st Viscountess Cowdray (d.1932) and her sister, Gertrude, later Mrs. Thomas Kinnell von Ivan Mestrovic im September 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.742,58) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ivan Mestrovic erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Study Of Woman Bending im Mai 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 27.500,00 (€ 30.528,02).
