Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of an infant, said to be the artist's daughter, eating strawberries by Madeleine Luka was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2004, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 83.65 (€ 124.89). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Madeleine Luka achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Beauty in the street in October 2007 with an auction result of USD 2,750.00 (€ 1,900.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of an infant, said to be the artist's daughter, eating strawberries von Madeleine Luka im Februar 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 83,65 (€ 124,89) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Madeleine Luka erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Beauty in the street im Oktober 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.750,00 (€ 1.900,75).
