Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Kew avenue from my own gate near Colombo, Oct 31 1848; and Elie House, Mutural, Colombo – a sketch by Andrew Nicholl was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,049.19). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Andrew Nicholl - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Poppies, cornflowers and daisies on Killiney Hill; Killiney Bay, Bray Head and the Sugar Loaf mountain in the distance, which sold at auction in May 2000 for GBP 21,150.00 (€ 33,937.95).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Kew avenue from my own gate near Colombo, Oct 31 1848; and Elie House, Mutural, Colombo – a sketch von Andrew Nicholl im Oktober 2019 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.049,19) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Andrew Nicholl mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Poppies, cornflowers and daisies on Killiney Hill; Killiney Bay, Bray Head and the Sugar Loaf mountain in the distance beobachtet, die im Mai 2000 für GBP 21.150,00 (€ 33.937,95) versteigert wurde.
