A top price for Elwin Hawthorne
When the work Cumberland Market 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 four times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,347.64). This high result makes Cumberland Market the most expensive artwork by Elwin Hawthorne that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis für Elwin Hawthorne
Als die Arbeit Cumberland Market 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 5.250,00 (€ 6.347,64) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieses hohe Ergebnis macht Cumberland Market zu dem teuersten Kunstwerk von Elwin Hawthorne, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
