This artwork by Edward Lear achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in December this year. In the Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours auction, the work The Gulf of Brolo from near Kokkinomilia sold for GBP 11,970.00 (€ 13,788.98) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Lear achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kasr-es-Saiyyad in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 938,400.00 (€ 1,392,538.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 100 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Lear erzielte im Dezember diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours wurde die Arbeit The Gulf of Brolo from near Kokkinomilia für GBP 11.970,00 (€ 13.788,98) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Lear erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kasr-es-Saiyyad im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 938.400,00 (€ 1.392.538,40).
