Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Weeping Hydrant by Mark Handforth was sold in the Contemporary Curated auction at Sothebys in London in March 2016. The price achieved of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 22,095.48) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Admittedly, works by Mark Handforth have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bent Pipe in February 2007 with an auction result of USD 198,000.00 (€ 149,659.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Weeping Hydrant von Mark Handforth wurde im März 2016 in der Auktion Contemporary Curated bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 22.095,48) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 15.000,00 – 20.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Mark Handforth auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bent Pipe im Februar 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 198.000,00 (€ 149.659,86).
