Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In March 2016 Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art, which included the work St Paul Du Var by Matthew Smith. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,782.48). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Matthew Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Connie Martin in January 2020 with an auction result of GBP 212,500.00 (€ 252,766.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im März 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit St Paul Du Var von Matthew Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.782,48) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Matthew Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Connie Martin im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 212.500,00 (€ 252.766,38).
