Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Costume designs for Haydn's 'La Fedelta Premiata', Glyndebourne, 1979 (one illustrated) by Hugh Casson was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 336.00 (€ 499.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Hugh Casson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work An original architectural plan for the Festival of Britain, 1951 in December 2002 with an auction result of GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,525.16).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Costume designs for Haydn's 'La Fedelta Premiata', Glyndebourne, 1979 (one illustrated) von Hugh Casson kam im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 336,00 (€ 499,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Hugh Casson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit An original architectural plan for the Festival of Britain, 1951 im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.525,16).
