A top price for Stephen Slaughter - as previously expected
The work Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, seated at a table, raising a toast, in a garden; and Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, beside a lectern with one pointing to an open book, with a page inscribed 'Tacitus' by Stephen Slaughter was sold in the THE IRISH SALE auction at Christies in London in May 2001. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 41,125.00 (€ 68,947.00) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, seated at a table, raising a toast, in a garden; and Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, beside a lectern with one pointing to an open book, with a page inscribed 'Tacitus' is the most expensive artwork by Stephen Slaughter that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Die Arbeit Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, seated at a table, raising a toast, in a garden; and Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, beside a lectern with one pointing to an open book, with a page inscribed 'Tacitus' von Stephen Slaughter wurde im Mai 2001 in der Auktion THE IRISH SALE bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 41.125,00 (€ 68.947,00) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, seated at a table, raising a toast, in a garden; and Portrait of two gentlemen, small-full-length, beside a lectern with one pointing to an open book, with a page inscribed 'Tacitus' das teuerste Kunstwerk von Stephen Slaughter, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
