Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The Golden Arrow by Terence Cuneo was sold in the Modern British and Irish Art auction at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year. The price achieved of GBP 38,400.00 (€ 44,801.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 30,000.00 – 50,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Terence Cuneo - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Lickey Incline, which sold at auction in May 2005 for GBP 69,600.00 (€ 102,751.45).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The Golden Arrow von Terence Cuneo wurde im Juli diesen Jahres in der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art bei Bonhams in Los Angeles versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 38.400,00 (€ 44.801,16) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 30.000,00 – 50.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Terence Cuneo mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Lickey Incline beobachtet, die im Mai 2005 für GBP 69.600,00 (€ 102.751,45) versteigert wurde.
