Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Ocima. Svet kolem nas -- Through the Eyes. The World Around Us. Prague: Cs.F.N., 1947. by Miroslav Hák was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 875.00 (€ 1,025.18) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Miroslav Hák - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Street Scene With Laundry, 1930S, which sold at auction in November 2008 for GBP 2,875.00 (€ 3,476.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Ocima. Svet kolem nas -- Through the Eyes. The World Around Us. Prague: Cs.F.N., 1947. von Miroslav Hák kam im Mai 2010 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 875,00 (€ 1.025,18) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Miroslav Hák mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Street Scene With Laundry, 1930S beobachtet, die im November 2008 für GBP 2.875,00 (€ 3.476,09) versteigert wurde.
