Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Study in temptation: Edward Carson and Rt. Hon. Andrew Bonar-Law by Max Beerbohm was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in July 2013. The price achieved of GBP 1,250.00 (€ 1,428.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. 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 im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Study in temptation: Edward Carson and Rt. Hon. Andrew Bonar-Law von Max Beerbohm wurde im Juli 2013 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.250,00 (€ 1.428,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben worden. 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).
