Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
The work ‘Alice Meets The Cheshire Cat’ by David Low was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018. It achieved a price of GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,134.79), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 56%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by David Low achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work ‘Nuremberg’ (‘No Drums, No Trumpets, No Banners – Pah! How Much Better We Would Have Done It’) in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,771.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit ‘Alice Meets The Cheshire Cat’ von David Low kam im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.134,79) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 56%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von David Low erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit ‘Nuremberg’ (‘No Drums, No Trumpets, No Banners – Pah! How Much Better We Would Have Done It’) im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 20.000,00 (€ 22.771,10).
