Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Mountain range, McMurdo Strait by Edward Adrian Wilson was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2006, 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 4,200.00 (€ 6,195.89). 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).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Mountain range, McMurdo Strait von Edward Adrian Wilson im September 2006 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 4.200,00 (€ 6.195,89) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
