Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work A young girl by a fallen oak in a woodland clearing by Edmund George Warren was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,541.00 (€ 6,426.77). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edmund George Warren - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Harvest, which sold at auction in December 2008 for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 19,692.96).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A young girl by a fallen oak in a woodland clearing von Edmund George Warren im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.541,00 (€ 6.426,77) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Edmund George Warren mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Harvest beobachtet, die im Dezember 2008 für GBP 18.750,00 (€ 19.692,96) versteigert wurde.
