Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Boat Race by Charles Paine was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 13,210.32). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Paine - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Boat Race, which sold at auction in October 2012 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 37,299.74).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Boat Race von Charles Paine im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.625,00 (€ 13.210,32) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Paine mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Boat Race beobachtet, die im Oktober 2012 für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 37.299,74) versteigert wurde.
