Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work A red kite on a perch by Edward Adrian Wilson was auctioned at Bonhams in London in February 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 10,200.00 (€ 11,763.78). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Adrian Wilson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp, which sold at auction in September 2007 for GBP 22,100.00 (€ 31,689.77).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit A red kite on a perch von Edward Adrian Wilson im Februar 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.200,00 (€ 11.763,78) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Adrian Wilson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp beobachtet, die im September 2007 für GBP 22.100,00 (€ 31.689,77) versteigert wurde.
