Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2016 Sothebys in London held the auction Made in Britain, which included the work Christine Keeler, 1963 by Lewis Morley. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,419.10) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Lewis Morley - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Christine Keeler, London, 1963, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,900.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2016 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Made in Britain durch, in der auch die Arbeit Christine Keeler, 1963 von Lewis Morley zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.419,10) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Lewis Morley mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Christine Keeler, London, 1963 beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.900,55) versteigert wurde.
