Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Newspaper Drawing 5, The Irish Times by Alex Hamilton was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,500.00 (€ 2,987.50). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Alex Hamilton; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Crossroads 6 sold at auction in November 2010 with the realized price of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,182.49).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Newspaper Drawing 5, The Irish Times von Alex Hamilton im November 2010 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.500,00 (€ 2.987,50) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Alex Hamilton; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Crossroads 6 im November 2010 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.182,49).
