Auction result well in line with expectations
In July this year Bonhams in Los Angeles held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Woman Resting by James Fitton. The price achieved of GBP 3,840.00 (€ 4,480.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Fitton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work London Market, which sold at auction in March 2021 for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,481.64).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Los Angeles die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Woman Resting von James Fitton zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.840,00 (€ 4.480,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von James Fitton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit London Market beobachtet, die im März 2021 für GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.481,64) versteigert wurde.
