Despite a disappointment, a good price for Malcolm Osborne
When the work The Gaekwad of Baroda (Sayajirao Gaekwad III, reg. 1875-1939), dated 1923 by Malcolm Osborne was auctioned at Bonhams in Hong Kong in May this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 229.50 (€ 267.02). Despite this disappointing result, The Gaekwad of Baroda (Sayajirao Gaekwad III, reg. 1875-1939), dated 1923 is the most expensive artwork by Malcolm Osborne that we have observed at auction so far.
Trotz Enttäuschung ein guter Preis für Malcolm Osborne
Als die Arbeit The Gaekwad of Baroda (Sayajirao Gaekwad III, reg. 1875-1939), dated 1923 von Malcolm Osborne im Mai diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Hong Kong versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 229,50 (€ 267,02) den Besitzer. Trotz dieses enttäuschenden Ergebnisses ist The Gaekwad of Baroda (Sayajirao Gaekwad III, reg. 1875-1939), dated 1923 das teuerste Kunstwerk von Malcolm Osborne, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
