Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Bonne Bouche, 1952, No. 6B, Rich Old Man; And Bonne-Bouche, 1952, Newspaperman No. 18 by Osbert Lancaster was sold in the A VIEW OVER EATON SQUAREA PRIVATE COLLECTION auction at Christies in London in November 2005. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 420.00 (€ 617.03) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Osbert Lancaster have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Washed Out in March 2001 with an auction result of GBP 3,055.00 (€ 4,929.55).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Bonne Bouche, 1952, No. 6B, Rich Old Man; And Bonne-Bouche, 1952, Newspaperman No. 18 von Osbert Lancaster wurde im November 2005 in der Auktion A VIEW OVER EATON SQUAREA PRIVATE COLLECTION bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 420,00 (€ 617,03) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Osbert Lancaster auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Washed Out im März 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.055,00 (€ 4.929,55).
