Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In October 2020 Phillips in London held the auction 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, which included the work The Way We Were by Matthew Day Jackson. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 30,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 34,020.00 (€ 37,776.31). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Matthew Day Jackson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Harriet (Last Portrait) in May 2010 with an auction result of USD 662,500.00 (€ 535,613.23).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Oktober 2020 führte Phillips in London die Auktion 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Way We Were von Matthew Day Jackson zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 30.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 34.020,00 (€ 37.776,31) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Matthew Day Jackson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Harriet (Last Portrait) im Mai 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 662.500,00 (€ 535.613,23).
