Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Poacher by Carl Ronald Giles was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2001, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,290.00 (€ 5,465.34). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Carl Ronald Giles; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Daily Express Comment: “In Half An Hour In A Country Pub The Russians Would Learn Far More About The British Than In All The Museums And Trading Centres In The Land.” “I'Ll Say They Would.” sold at auction in March 2018 with the realized price of GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,539.16).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Poacher von Carl Ronald Giles im Juni 2001 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.465,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Carl Ronald Giles; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Daily Express Comment: “In Half An Hour In A Country Pub The Russians Would Learn Far More About The British Than In All The Museums And Trading Centres In The Land.” “I'Ll Say They Would.” im März 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 7.500,00 (€ 8.539,16).
