Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Yellow Oval (Brown) : October 1959 by Patrick Heron was sold in the Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale auction at Christies in London in October last year. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 44,100.00 (€ 51,376.01) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Patrick Heron achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Blue Table With Window: 1954 in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 1,049,250.00 (€ 1,160,800.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Yellow Oval (Brown) : October 1959 von Patrick Heron wurde im Oktober letzten Jahres in der Auktion Modern British & Irish Art Day Sale bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 44.100,00 (€ 51.376,01) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Patrick Heron erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Blue Table With Window: 1954 im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.049.250,00 (€ 1.160.800,09).
