Upper estimate price exceeded by 45 %.
In March 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer, which included the work ‘Twenty Years After’ (‘Hitler: “The World Still Refuses To Realise That Violence, When Used By Germans, Is Justified And Righteous. What Can I Do? What Would You Do?” | Ex-Kaiser: “Do? I Did”’) by David Low. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 7,250.00 (€ 8,254.53), 45% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Low - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work ‘Nuremberg’ (‘No Drums, No Trumpets, No Banners – Pah! How Much Better We Would Have Done It’), which sold at auction in March 2018 for GBP 20,000.00 (€ 22,771.10).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 45 % übertroffen
Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer durch, in der auch die Arbeit ‘Twenty Years After’ (‘Hitler: “The World Still Refuses To Realise That Violence, When Used By Germans, Is Justified And Righteous. What Can I Do? What Would You Do?” | Ex-Kaiser: “Do? I Did”’) von David Low zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 7.250,00 (€ 8.254,53) und damit 45% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von David Low mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit ‘Nuremberg’ (‘No Drums, No Trumpets, No Banners – Pah! How Much Better We Would Have Done It’) beobachtet, die im März 2018 für GBP 20.000,00 (€ 22.771,10) versteigert wurde.
