This artwork by Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2010. In the Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale auction, the work Mount Erebus sold for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,734.70) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Cherry-Garrard's silk sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by his sister, Ida Cherry-Garrard, and carried on Scott's British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13, which sold at auction in September 2008 for GBP 37,250.00 (€ 47,098.86).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard erzielte im September 2010 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale wurde die Arbeit Mount Erebus für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.734,70) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Apsley George Benet Cherry-Garrard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Cherry-Garrard's silk sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by his sister, Ida Cherry-Garrard, and carried on Scott's British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13 beobachtet, die im September 2008 für GBP 37.250,00 (€ 47.098,86) versteigert wurde.
