A top price for Jean Alexander - as previously expected
The work Man In A Fez by Jean Alexander was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,223.37) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Man In A Fez is the most expensive artwork by Jean Alexander that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Man In A Fez von Jean Alexander kam im März 2005 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.223,37) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Man In A Fez das teuerste Kunstwerk von Jean Alexander, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
