Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Prints and Multiples, which included the work A Collection by Valerie Thornton. It changed hands for a price of GBP 750.00 (€ 867.45) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. 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
Im September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Prints and Multiples durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Collection von Valerie Thornton zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 867,45) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. 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.
