Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Cecil Collins achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November last year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work The Tree 38 x 55.6 cm. (14 7/8 x 21 7/8 in.) sold for GBP 28,020.00 (€ 32,468.78) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Cecil Collins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Greeting, which sold at auction in June 2015 for GBP 70,000.00 (€ 98,699.12).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Cecil Collins erzielte im November letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit The Tree 38 x 55.6 cm. (14 7/8 x 21 7/8 in.) für GBP 28.020,00 (€ 32.468,78) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Cecil Collins mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Greeting beobachtet, die im Juni 2015 für GBP 70.000,00 (€ 98.699,12) versteigert wurde.
