The work A costume design for 'The Princess for the Boxing Scene' for C.B.Cochran's musical play 'Tough at the Top', 1949 by Oliver Messel was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 1,625.00 (€ 1,791.83), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 35%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Oliver Messel achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Mrs William "Babe" Paley (1915-1978) in September 2020 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,188.24).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen

Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.625,00 (€ 1.791,83) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 35%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Oliver Messel erzielen.
