Description

Sir Max Beerbohm (1872-1956)
Caricature study of Thomas Hardy
signed and dated 'Max/1926' (lower right) and inscribed 'Thomas Hardy' (lower left)
pencil
12 x 6¼ in. (30.4 x 15.9 cm.)

Auction result misses estimated price range

In December 2010 a collector was able to acquire the work Caricature study of Thomas Hardy by Max Beerbohm for GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,349.99). This price was achieved in the auction Christie's Interiors at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Max Beerbohm achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Mr Churchill' in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 47,500.00 (€ 54,081.37).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Dezember 2010 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Caricature study of Thomas Hardy von Max Beerbohm für GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.349,99) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Max Beerbohm erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Mr Churchill' im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 47.500,00 (€ 54.081,37).
