Description

Theodore Major (1908-1999)
By the Sea
oil on board
7 x 9 in. (17.7 x 22.9 cm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 58 %.

The work By the Sea by Theodore Major was sold in the 20th Century British Art auction at Christies in London in December 2011. It achieved a price of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,688.80), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 58%. Admittedly, works by Theodore Major have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Industrial Landscape in March 2008 with an auction result of GBP 34,100.00 (€ 42,838.06).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 58 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit By the Sea von Theodore Major wurde im Dezember 2011 in der Auktion 20th Century British Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.688,80) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 58%. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Theodore Major auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Industrial Landscape im März 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 34.100,00 (€ 42.838,06).
