Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Canonbury, Highbury by Elwin Hawthorne was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,200.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 3,750.00 (€ 4,534.03). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Elwin Hawthorne; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Cumberland Market sold at auction in November 2008 with the realized price of GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,347.64).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Canonbury, Highbury von Elwin Hawthorne im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.200,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 3.750,00 (€ 4.534,03) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Elwin Hawthorne; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Cumberland Market im November 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.347,64).
