In June 2019 Christies in London held the auction Modern British Art Day Sale, which included the work HMS Tetcott by Eric Ravilious. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 100,000.00 (€ 112,414.83), 25% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eric Ravilious - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Aldeburgh Bathing Machines, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 269,000.00 (€ 317,393.55).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 25 % übertroffen

Im Juni 2019 führte Christies in London die Auktion Modern British Art Day Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit HMS Tetcott von Eric Ravilious zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 100.000,00 (€ 112.414,83) und damit 25% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Eric Ravilious mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Aldeburgh Bathing Machines beobachtet, die im November 2016 für GBP 269.000,00 (€ 317.393,55) versteigert wurde.
