Upper estimate price exceeded by 50 %.
In October 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Art For Grenfell, which included the work Dew-Pond By Iron Age Hill Fort, Somerset, 1988 by Don McCullin. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 22,500.00 (€ 25,654.40), 50% above the upper estimate. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Don McCullin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Shell-shocked US Marine, The Battle of Hue sold at auction in May 2019 with the realized price of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 28,298.50).

Im Oktober 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Art For Grenfell durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dew-Pond By Iron Age Hill Fort, Somerset, 1988 von Don McCullin zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 25.654,40) und damit 50% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Don McCullin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Shell-shocked US Marine, The Battle of Hue im Mai 2019 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 28.298,50).
