Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work View from above Double Bay with Middle Head and North Head in the distance by George Edwards Peacock was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,829.41). Admittedly, works by George Edwards Peacock have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Sydney from Macquarie Street in May 2003 with an auction result of AUD 141,000.00 (€ 78,049.72).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View from above Double Bay with Middle Head and North Head in the distance von George Edwards Peacock im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.829,41) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Edwards Peacock auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Sydney from Macquarie Street im Mai 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von AUD 141.000,00 (€ 78.049,72).
