In May 2003 Christies in London held the auction THE KAI WUNSCHE COLLECTION, DIE WEISSE VILLA, HAMBURG, which included the work Dutch fishing vessels off the coast in a stiff breeze signed 'Ed Schmidt' (lower right) by Eduard Schmidt. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 705.00 (€ 982.24), 41% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eduard Schmidt - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Fishing Boats On A Stormy Sea, which sold at auction in June 2009 for USD 5,000.00 (€ 3,566.33).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 41 % übertroffen
