Auction result well in line with expectations
The work "Dead Parrot Sketch" by Gerald Scarfe was auctioned at Sothebys in London in April 2017. The price achieved of GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,640.71) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gerald Scarfe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Churchill In The House Of Commons in April 2017 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 141,017.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit "Dead Parrot Sketch" von Gerald Scarfe kam im April 2017 bei Sothebys in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.640,71) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gerald Scarfe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Churchill In The House Of Commons im April 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 118.750,00 (€ 141.017,67).
