A top price for Mervyn Lawrence Peake - as previously expected
The work The sculpture gallery by Mervyn Lawrence Peake was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations auction at Christies in London in July 2007. The price achieved of GBP 1,200.00 (€ 1,782.28) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The sculpture gallery is the most expensive artwork by Mervyn Lawrence Peake that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit The sculpture gallery von Mervyn Lawrence Peake wurde im Juli 2007 in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.200,00 (€ 1.782,28) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The sculpture gallery das teuerste Kunstwerk von Mervyn Lawrence Peake, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
