Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

The work Lovers Embracing by Eric Gill was worth GBP 97,500.00 (€ 110,191.62) to a buyer in June 2018. This price was achieved in the auction Modern British Art Day Sale at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 25,000.00 many times over. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eric Gill achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St Joan of Arc in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 2,210,500.00 (€ 3,116,777.25).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Die Arbeit Lovers Embracing von Eric Gill war einem Käufer im Juni 2018 GBP 97.500,00 (€ 110.191,62) wert. Dieser Preise wurde in der Auktion Modern British Art Day Sale bei Christies in London erzielt und übertraf den zuvor angesetzten oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 25.000,00 um ein Vielfaches. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eric Gill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St Joan of Arc im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.210.500,00 (€ 3.116.777,25).
