This artwork by Eric Malthouse achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2003. In the TWENTIETH CENTURY BRITISH ART auction, the work Drying Surgical Instruments sold for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,382.99) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eric Malthouse - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Mother And Child, which sold at auction in November 2006 for GBP 3,360.00 (€ 4,989.71).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

In der Auktion TWENTIETH CENTURY BRITISH ART wurde die Arbeit Drying Surgical Instruments für GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.382,99) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Eric Malthouse mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Mother And Child beobachtet, die im November 2006 für GBP 3.360,00 (€ 4.989,71) versteigert wurde.
