Auction result well in line with expectations

In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British Art, which included the work The Turkish Box 61 x 73.5 cm. (24 x 29 in.) by Vanessa Bell. The price achieved of GBP 25,600.00 (€ 29,664.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 20,000.00 – 30,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vanessa Bell achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Autumn Bouquet in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 256,250.00 (€ 301,027.74).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Turkish Box 61 x 73.5 cm. (24 x 29 in.) von Vanessa Bell zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 25.600,00 (€ 29.664,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 20.000,00 – 30.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vanessa Bell erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Autumn Bouquet im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 256.250,00 (€ 301.027,74).
