Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2010 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work 'For 500 years the family supported the King. Now they support Chelsea.' (illustrated); and 'Seeing as it's a special occasion, I thought I'd look after the children' by Oliver Preston. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 870.00) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Oliver Preston - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cremation Or Burial, Or Would He Prefer A Surprise?, which sold at auction in March this year for GBP 2,520.00 (€ 2,866.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'For 500 years the family supported the King. Now they support Chelsea.' (illustrated); and 'Seeing as it's a special occasion, I thought I'd look after the children' von Oliver Preston zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 870,00) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Oliver Preston mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cremation Or Burial, Or Would He Prefer A Surprise? beobachtet, die im März diesen Jahres für GBP 2.520,00 (€ 2.866,99) versteigert wurde.
