Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Plymouth Ho, 1985 by Malcolm Morley was sold in the Post War & Contemporary Art auction at Bonhams in February this year. The price achieved of USD 4,080.00 (€ 3,848.33) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Malcolm Morley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work SS Amsterdam in Front of Rotterdam in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 1,202,500.00 (€ 1,695,509.91).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Plymouth Ho, 1985 von Malcolm Morley wurde im Februar diesen Jahres in der Auktion Post War & Contemporary Art bei Bonhams versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 4.080,00 (€ 3.848,33) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Malcolm Morley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit SS Amsterdam in Front of Rotterdam im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.202.500,00 (€ 1.695.509,91).
