Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In June 2020 Bonhams in London held the auction The Murray's Cabaret Club Costume Design Archive, which included the work Two original costume designs for Murray's Cabaret Club showgirls dressed as 'Town Girls' by Ronald Cobb. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 400.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 446.25 (€ 491.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ronald Cobb - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An original hand-painted design for a menu at Murray's Cabaret Club, which sold at auction in June 2020 for GBP 956.25 (€ 1,053.14).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juni 2020 führte Bonhams in London die Auktion The Murray's Cabaret Club Costume Design Archive durch, in der auch die Arbeit Two original costume designs for Murray's Cabaret Club showgirls dressed as 'Town Girls' von Ronald Cobb zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 400,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 446,25 (€ 491,47) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Ronald Cobb mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An original hand-painted design for a menu at Murray's Cabaret Club beobachtet, die im Juni 2020 für GBP 956,25 (€ 1.053,14) versteigert wurde.
