A top price for Sara Flynn

When the work A pair of unfolding vessels by Sara Flynn was auctioned at Christies in London in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 7,560.00 (€ 8,893.62). This high result makes A pair of unfolding vessels the most expensive artwork by Sara Flynn that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis für Sara Flynn

Als die Arbeit A pair of unfolding vessels von Sara Flynn im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 7.560,00 (€ 8.893,62) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht A pair of unfolding vessels zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Sara Flynn, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
