Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work An unfortunate tumble by Alfred William Strutt was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 40,000.00 (€ 28,737.70). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alfred William Strutt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A watched pot never boils, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 37,600.00 (€ 59,600.63).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit An unfortunate tumble von Alfred William Strutt im Dezember 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 40.000,00 (€ 28.737,70) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Alfred William Strutt mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A watched pot never boils beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 37.600,00 (€ 59.600,63) versteigert wurde.
