Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Vraic gathering, Guernsey by Edward Duncan was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,273.74). Admittedly, works by Edward Duncan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire in October 2000 with an auction result of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 26,109.34).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Vraic gathering, Guernsey von Edward Duncan im November 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.273,74) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Duncan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 26.109,34).
