A top price for Maurice Cockrill

When the work Generation - Blue Space, Ii, (Marienbad.) by Maurice Cockrill was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2016, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than 25 times as high at GBP 20,000.00 (€ 23,598.03). This high result makes Generation - Blue Space, Ii, (Marienbad.) the most expensive artwork by Maurice Cockrill that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Maurice Cockrill

Als die Arbeit Generation - Blue Space, Ii, (Marienbad.) von Maurice Cockrill im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 20.000,00 (€ 23.598,03) mehr als 25-mal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Generation - Blue Space, Ii, (Marienbad.) zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Maurice Cockrill, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
