Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Less Than The Dust by Byam Shaw for GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,511.34). This price was achieved in the auction A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Byam Shaw achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Queen of Hearts in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 790,500.00 (€ 883,058.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Less Than The Dust von Byam Shaw für GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.511,34) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Byam Shaw erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Queen of Hearts im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 790.500,00 (€ 883.058,95).
