Auction result well in line with expectations
In July this year Christies in New York held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Who's the Lady?; and Two Studies by Alfred Munnings. It changed hands for a price of GBP 226,800.00 (€ 264,606.86) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 150,000.00 – 250,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred Munnings achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Gypsies Arriving at Epsom in December 2000 with an auction result of USD 3,031,000.00 (€ 3,228,589.69).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Christies in New York die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Who's the Lady?; and Two Studies von Alfred Munnings zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 226.800,00 (€ 264.606,86) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 150.000,00 – 250.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alfred Munnings erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Gypsies Arriving at Epsom im Dezember 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.031.000,00 (€ 3.228.589,69).
