Upper estimate price exceeded by 79 %.
This artwork by Stanley Spencer achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in June last year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Soxy at rest sold for GBP 3,570.00 (€ 4,147.32) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Stanley Spencer achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christ Preaching At Cookham Regatta: Conversation Between Punts in November 2013 with an auction result of GBP 6,018,500.00 (€ 7,242,459.25).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Stanley Spencer erzielte im Juni letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Soxy at rest für GBP 3.570,00 (€ 4.147,32) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Stanley Spencer erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christ Preaching At Cookham Regatta: Conversation Between Punts im November 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.018.500,00 (€ 7.242.459,25).
