Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2020 Christies in London held the auction Dialogues: Modern and Contemporary Art, which included the work Random Illusion No. 2 by Peter Phillips. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 70,000.00 – 100,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 75,000.00 (€ 83,656.79) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Phillips - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work without title, which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 141,800.00 (€ 199,936.22).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2020 führte Christies in London die Auktion Dialogues: Modern and Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Random Illusion No. 2 von Peter Phillips zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 70.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 75.000,00 (€ 83.656,79) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Phillips mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ohne Titel beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für GBP 141.800,00 (€ 199.936,22) versteigert wurde.
