In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work The Interlude by Mary Gow. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,040.00 (€ 7,484.56), 68% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mary Gow - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Harmony, which sold at auction in November 2005 for GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,155.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im November 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Art on Paper durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Interlude von Mary Gow zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.040,00 (€ 7.484,56) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Mary Gow mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Harmony beobachtet, die im November 2005 für GBP 14.400,00 (€ 21.155,42) versteigert wurde.
