This artwork by Charles Rennie Mackintosh achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in May 2011. In the Victorian & Edwardian Art auction, the work Alder Catkins, Walberswick sold for GBP 15,625.00 (€ 17,867.24) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 8,000.00. Admittedly, works by Charles Rennie Mackintosh have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A Hill Town in Southern France in October 2004 with an auction result of GBP 94,850.00 (€ 136,515.24).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 95 % übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Charles Rennie Mackintosh erzielte im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Victorian & Edwardian Art wurde die Arbeit Alder Catkins, Walberswick für GBP 15.625,00 (€ 17.867,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 8.000,00.
