Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work (i) Guru Then Digitate (ii) Muddy Mirror by Mark Titchner was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,311.72). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Mark Titchner; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Find Our World in Yours sold at auction in March 2019 with the realized price of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,213.40).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit (i) Guru Then Digitate (ii) Muddy Mirror von Mark Titchner im März 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 17.500,00 (€ 20.311,72) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Mark Titchner; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Find Our World in Yours im März 2019 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 23.213,40).
