Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale, which included the work Mount Erebus and Castle Rock by Edward Adrian Wilson. The price achieved of GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,337.27) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Admittedly, works by Edward Adrian Wilson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mount Erebus and Castle Rock von Edward Adrian Wilson zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.337,27) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Adrian Wilson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
