Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Orange Composition by Donald Hamilton Fraser was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2020, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 16,380.00 (€ 18,061.61). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Donald Hamilton Fraser; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Landscape, Sea And Wind sold at auction in November 2020 with the realized price of GBP 18,900.00 (€ 21,098.78).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Orange Composition von Donald Hamilton Fraser im September 2020 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.380,00 (€ 18.061,61) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Donald Hamilton Fraser; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Landscape, Sea And Wind im November 2020 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 18.900,00 (€ 21.098,78).
