A top price for Edward Bannister
When the work The Palmer River by Edward Bannister was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 70,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at USD 277,200.00 (€ 227,324.91). This high result makes The Palmer River the most expensive artwork by Edward Bannister that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Edward Bannister
Als die Arbeit The Palmer River von Edward Bannister im Mai 2021 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – USD 70.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 277.200,00 (€ 227.324,91) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht The Palmer River zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Edward Bannister, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
