Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Ali The Thief by Patrick Hennessy was sold in the THE IRISH SALE auction at Christies in London in May 2005. The result of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,857.88) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 6,000.00 – 8,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Patrick Hennessy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Self-Portrait, which sold at auction in September 2018 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,693.86).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Ali The Thief von Patrick Hennessy wurde im Mai 2005 in der Auktion THE IRISH SALE bei Christies in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.857,88) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 6.000,00 – 8.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Patrick Hennessy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Self-Portrait beobachtet, die im September 2018 für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 33.693,86) versteigert wurde.
