Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2014 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science & Natural History, which included the work Last Sight Of Mt. Discovery. "Terra Nova" & "Morning" Following Us Out Of Mcmurdo Strait. Midnight Feb. 19. 1904. by Edward Adrian Wilson. The price achieved of GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,043.08) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Adrian Wilson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 22,100.00 (€ 31,689.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2014 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science & Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Last Sight Of Mt. Discovery. "Terra Nova" & "Morning" Following Us Out Of Mcmurdo Strait. Midnight Feb. 19. 1904. von Edward Adrian Wilson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.043,08) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Adrian Wilson erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.100,00 (€ 31.689,77).
