Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2011 Sothebys in New York held the auction Original Illustration Art from the Collections of Kendra and Allan Daniel, which included the work Four illustrations for The Pied Piper, comprising: by Margaret Tarrant. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of USD 1,200.00 – 1,600.00, the actual price achieved of USD 1,250.00 (€ 843.40) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Margaret Tarrant have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Young Anglers in June 2001 with an auction result of GBP 3,407.50 (€ 5,660.54).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2011 führte Sothebys in New York die Auktion Original Illustration Art from the Collections of Kendra and Allan Daniel durch, in der auch die Arbeit Four illustrations for The Pied Piper, comprising: von Margaret Tarrant zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.200,00 – 1.600,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von USD 1.250,00 (€ 843,40) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Margaret Tarrant auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Young Anglers im Juni 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.407,50 (€ 5.660,54).
