Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Collection by Valerie Thornton was sold in the Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints auction at Christies in London in April 2011. The price achieved of GBP 600.00 (€ 675.70) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 500.00 – 700.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Valerie Thornton - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The church entrance, which sold at auction in April 2007 for GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,284.04).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Collection von Valerie Thornton wurde im April 2011 in der Auktion Old Master, Decorative, Modern & Contemporary Prints bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 600,00 (€ 675,70) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Valerie Thornton mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The church entrance beobachtet, die im April 2007 für GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.284,04) versteigert wurde.
