A top price for Tom McGuinness
When the work The road to work by Tom McGuinness was auctioned at Christies in London in August 2015, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,234.59). This high result makes The road to work the most expensive artwork by Tom McGuinness that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Tom McGuinness
Als die Arbeit The road to work von Tom McGuinness im August 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.234,59) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The road to work zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Tom McGuinness, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
