Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Shorthand Typist in the Wilderness; and Ruined Town by Jeff Keen was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2015. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 7,000.00 – 10,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 10,574.91) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Jeff Keen have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Laff - 1966 in December 2020 with an auction result of EUR 58,500.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Shorthand Typist in the Wilderness; and Ruined Town von Jeff Keen kam im Juni 2015 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 7.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 10.574,91) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jeff Keen auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Laff - 1966 im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 58.500,00.
