Auction result well in line with expectations

In December 2015 Christies in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art, which included the work Red/Blue, Summer 1961 by Theodore Mendez. It changed hands for a price of GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,867.18) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Theodore Mendez - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Grey Composition, which sold at auction in December 2014 for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,632.08).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Dezember 2015 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Red/Blue, Summer 1961 von Theodore Mendez zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.867,18) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Theodore Mendez mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Grey Composition beobachtet, die im Dezember 2014 für GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.632,08) versteigert wurde.
