Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2014 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern & Post-War British Art, which included the work The Prisoner by Merlyn Evans. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 14,375.00 (€ 18,073.34), 20% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Merlyn Evans - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Time King (Vertical Abstraction No. 2), which sold at auction in November 2019 for GBP 33,750.00 (€ 39,630.75).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2014 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern & Post-War British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Prisoner von Merlyn Evans zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 14.375,00 (€ 18.073,34) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Merlyn Evans mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Time King (Vertical Abstraction No. 2) beobachtet, die im November 2019 für GBP 33.750,00 (€ 39.630,75) versteigert wurde.
