Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work London by Anthony Gross was auctioned at Sothebys in Olympia in September 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,400.00 (€ 7,966.14). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Anthony Gross - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A large collection of etchings, circa 1955 to 1976, on wove and laid paper, each signed and titled in pencil, each with full margins, in varying conditions, most in excellent overall condition, which sold at auction in June 2008 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 17,380.46).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit London von Anthony Gross im September 2006 bei Sothebys in Olympia versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.400,00 (€ 7.966,14) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Anthony Gross mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A large collection of etchings, circa 1955 to 1976, on wove and laid paper, each signed and titled in pencil, each with full margins, in varying conditions, most in excellent overall condition beobachtet, die im Juni 2008 für GBP 13.750,00 (€ 17.380,46) versteigert wurde.
