Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Seven Deadly Sins by Mark Tansey was sold in the The Landscape of a Mind: A Private Collector's Surreal Vision auction at Christies in London in June 2019. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 70,259.27) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mark Tansey achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Source Of The Loue in May 2018 with an auction result of USD 7,453,600.00 (€ 6,386,975.15).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Seven Deadly Sins von Mark Tansey wurde im Juni 2019 in der Auktion The Landscape of a Mind: A Private Collector's Surreal Vision bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 70.259,27) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mark Tansey erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Source Of The Loue im Mai 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.453.600,00 (€ 6.386.975,15).
