Upper estimate price exceeded by 30 %.
In July 2007 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations, which included the work The watchers (recto) (illustrated) and a church tower (verso) by Edward Ardizzone. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,316.96), 30% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Edward Ardizzone 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 Saloon Bar at The Shirland in June 2003 with an auction result of GBP 6,572.50 (€ 9,445.04).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 30 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations durch, in der auch die Arbeit The watchers (recto) (illustrated) and a church tower (verso) von Edward Ardizzone zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.316,96) und damit 30% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Ardizzone auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Saloon Bar at The Shirland im Juni 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.572,50 (€ 9.445,04).
