In November 2010 Christies in London held the auction Travel and Vintage Posters, which included the work At The Shops by Tony Sarg. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,269.69), 33% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tony Sarg - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Set of illustrations for The Cock, The Mouse and The Little Red Hen, which sold at auction in April 2011 for USD 6,250.00 (€ 4,216.99).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Im November 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel and Vintage Posters durch, in der auch die Arbeit At The Shops von Tony Sarg zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.269,69) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Tony Sarg mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Set of illustrations for The Cock, The Mouse and The Little Red Hen beobachtet, die im April 2011 für USD 6.250,00 (€ 4.216,99) versteigert wurde.
