Sold at the lower estimate price
In June 2005 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Venice by Mary Adshead. The result of GBP 600.00 (€ 889.24) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mary Adshead - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Music And Drama, which sold at auction in March 2007 for GBP 2,280.00 (€ 3,355.90).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im Juni 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Venice von Mary Adshead zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 600,00 (€ 889,24) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mary Adshead mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Music And Drama beobachtet, die im März 2007 für GBP 2.280,00 (€ 3.355,90) versteigert wurde.
