Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Our Ford, Highhead by Edwin Walter Dickinson was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in April 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - USD 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at USD 40,000.00 (€ 30,236.60). Admittedly, works by Edwin Walter Dickinson have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Self Portrait In Uniform in May 2017 with an auction result of USD 187,500.00 (€ 166,874.33).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Our Ford, Highhead von Edwin Walter Dickinson im April 2012 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 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit USD 40.000,00 (€ 30.236,60) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edwin Walter Dickinson auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Self Portrait In Uniform im Mai 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 187.500,00 (€ 166.874,33).
