Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Eric Gill achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in November 2016. In the Day Auction auction, the work Study For Sculpture, Ratcliffe College sold for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,111.82) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00. 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).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Eric Gill erzielte im November 2016 bei Sothebys in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Day Auction wurde die Arbeit Study For Sculpture, Ratcliffe College für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.111,82) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.500,00. 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).
