Auction result well in line with expectations
The work A Sussex Common by Edmund Morison Wimperis was sold in the British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations auction at Christies in London in June 2002. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 646.25 (€ 999.60) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Edmund Morison Wimperis have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Across the Moor in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,587.56).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit A Sussex Common von Edmund Morison Wimperis wurde im Juni 2002 in der Auktion British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 646,25 (€ 999,60) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edmund Morison Wimperis auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Across the Moor im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.587,56).
