Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Malayan Tapir by Charles Edward Brittan was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,375.00 (€ 1,590.33). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Charles Edward Brittan; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors sold at auction in September 2005 with the realized price of GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,289.41).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Malayan Tapir von Charles Edward Brittan im September 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.375,00 (€ 1.590,33) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Charles Edward Brittan; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Sheep grazing on the moors below low-lying clouds (illustrated); and Dusk, on the moors im September 2005 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.289,41).
