Upper estimate price exceeded by 59 %.

In March this year Bonhams held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Cyclists by Desmond Morris. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 3,187.50 (€ 3,626.40), 59% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Desmond Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Courtship in November 2021 with an auction result of EUR 56,250.00.

Oberer Schätzpreis um 59 % übertroffen

Im März diesen Jahres führte Bonhams die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Cyclists von Desmond Morris zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 3.187,50 (€ 3.626,40) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Desmond Morris erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Courtship im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 56.250,00.
