Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Hunter with a strange figure by Twins Seven-Seven was auctioned at Bonhams in July this year. The price achieved of EUR 2,560.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Twins Seven-Seven - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ram Masquerade, which sold at auction in March last year for GBP 5,670.00 (€ 6,722.42).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Hunter with a strange figure von Twins Seven-Seven kam im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 2.560,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Twins Seven-Seven mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ram Masquerade beobachtet, die im März letzten Jahres für GBP 5.670,00 (€ 6.722,42) versteigert wurde.
