Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work '...We Shall Fight On The Seas And Oceans... We Shall Fight On The Beaches, We Shall Fight On The Landing Grounds, In The Fields, In The Streets And In The Hills. We Shall Never Surrender...' by Feliks Topolski was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,375.00 (€ 2,704.07). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Feliks Topolski; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Sir Winston Churchill sold at auction in July 2014 with the realized price of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,414.60).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit '...We Shall Fight On The Seas And Oceans... We Shall Fight On The Beaches, We Shall Fight On The Landing Grounds, In The Fields, In The Streets And In The Hills. We Shall Never Surrender...' von Feliks Topolski im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.375,00 (€ 2.704,07) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Feliks Topolski; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Sir Winston Churchill im Juli 2014 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.414,60).
