Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work Washday, Bolton (Workland), 1937 Wasteland, Bolton (Workland), 1937 Unemployed, Tyneside, 1936 by Humphrey Spender. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,683.02) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Humphrey Spender - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Sails At Rab, which sold at auction in March 2008 for GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,967.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Washday, Bolton (Workland), 1937 Wasteland, Bolton (Workland), 1937 Unemployed, Tyneside, 1936 von Humphrey Spender zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.683,02) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Humphrey Spender mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Sails At Rab beobachtet, die im März 2008 für GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.967,18) versteigert wurde.
