Sold at the lower estimate price

The work Shelling peas by Myles Birket Foster was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2021. The result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,963.95) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 5,000.00 – 8,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Myles Birket Foster achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Meet in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 240,250.00 (€ 382,313.43).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit Shelling peas von Myles Birket Foster kam im Dezember 2021 bei Christies in London zur Auktion.

Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Myles Birket Foster erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Meet im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 240.250,00 (€ 382.313,43).
