Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Newcastle From The Rabbit Banks, Gateshead-On-Tyne by George Price Boyce was auctioned at Sothebys in London in May 2014, 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 6,250.00 (€ 7,681.45). Admittedly, works by George Price Boyce have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Old Barn At Whitchurch in May 2014 with an auction result of GBP 31,250.00 (€ 38,407.26).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Newcastle From The Rabbit Banks, Gateshead-On-Tyne von George Price Boyce im Mai 2014 bei Sothebys 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 6.250,00 (€ 7.681,45) mehr als viermal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George Price Boyce auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Old Barn At Whitchurch im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.250,00 (€ 38.407,26).
