Upper estimate price exceeded by 31 %.
In September 2007 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel, which included the work Rocky Islets and Slopes of Erebus, McMurdo Strait, 25 April 1903 by Edward Adrian Wilson. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 7,528.11), 31% above the upper estimate. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 31 % übertroffen
Im September 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel durch, in der auch die Arbeit Rocky Islets and Slopes of Erebus, McMurdo Strait, 25 April 1903 von Edward Adrian Wilson zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 7.528,11) und damit 31% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
