Sold at the upper estimate price
The work The Music Room by James McBey was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2013. The auction ended at the price of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 7,091.95), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James McBey - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of Dacie, which sold at auction in September 2020 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,566.56).

Die Arbeit The Music Room von James McBey kam im Oktober 2013 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 7.091,95) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von James McBey mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of Dacie beobachtet, die im September 2020 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.566,56) versteigert wurde.
