Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.

In September last year Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work Sunset by Abraham Christopher Gregory Suriarachi Amarasekara. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,020.00 (€ 1,160.86), 28% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Abraham Christopher Gregory Suriarachi Amarasekara have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of Tagore in November this year with an auction result of GBP 6,144.00 (€ 7,119.56).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen

Im September letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sunset von Abraham Christopher Gregory Suriarachi Amarasekara zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.020,00 (€ 1.160,86) und damit 28% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Abraham Christopher Gregory Suriarachi Amarasekara auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of Tagore im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.144,00 (€ 7.119,56).
