Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November this year Bonhams in Dublin held the auction The Irish SaleVision & Voice, which included the work Abstract Composition 63.5 x 48 cm. (25 x 19 in.) by Mainie Jellett. Here, the upper estimate of EUR 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for EUR 33,280.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mainie Jellett - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Pietà, which sold at auction in May last year for EUR 88,200.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in Dublin die Auktion The Irish SaleVision & Voice durch, in der auch die Arbeit Abstract Composition 63.5 x 48 cm. (25 x 19 in.) von Mainie Jellett zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von EUR 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für EUR 33.280,00 einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Mainie Jellett mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Pietà beobachtet, die im Mai letzten Jahres für EUR 88.200,00 versteigert wurde.
