Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Carnations (illustrated); and Lady Pirrie by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2004, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 400.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 2,031.50 (€ 2,875.13). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work And all generations shall call her blessed in December 2020 with an auction result of GBP 40,000.00 (€ 44,683.57).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Carnations (illustrated); and Lady Pirrie von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale im Dezember 2004 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 400,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.031,50 (€ 2.875,13) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit And all generations shall call her blessed im Dezember 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 40.000,00 (€ 44.683,57).
