Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2015 Phillips in London held the auction Evening & Day Editions, which included the work Video Disques by Peter Sedgley. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 5,287.45). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Sedgley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Counterpoint in January 2020 with an auction result of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 74,343.05).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2015 führte Phillips in London die Auktion Evening & Day Editions durch, in der auch die Arbeit Video Disques von Peter Sedgley zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 5.287,45) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Sedgley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Counterpoint im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 74.343,05).
