PAULINE BOTY (1938-1966)
Still life with paint brushes
pencil, gouache and metallic paint on paper
15 ¾ x 19 ¾ in. (40.5 x 52.7 cm.)
Executed circa 1959-61.

Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

In October this year Christies in New York held the auction Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale, which included the work Still life with paint brushes by Pauline Boty. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 55,440.00 (€ 63,660.52), 58% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pauline Boty achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work With Love to Jean-Paul Belmondo in June last year with an auction result of GBP 1,159,500.00 (€ 1,347,009.17).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen

Im Oktober diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Still life with paint brushes von Pauline Boty zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 55.440,00 (€ 63.660,52) und damit 58% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Pauline Boty erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit With Love to Jean-Paul Belmondo im Juni letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.159.500,00 (€ 1.347.009,17).
