Upper estimate price exceeded by 60 %.
In November 2006 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art, Wildlife and Dogs, which included the work Nancy; And Blue Cock by Andrew Beer. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 960.00 (€ 1,425.63), 60% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Andrew Beer; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sky Pilot; And Guiding Star sold at auction in June 2006 with the realized price of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,257.29).

Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Andrew Beer; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Sky Pilot; And Guiding Star im Juni 2006 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.257,29).
