Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Tree by Harold Gilman was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2017, 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 (€ 7,094.68). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harold Gilman achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Interior (Mrs Mounter) in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 485,000.00 (€ 572,252.32).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Tree von Harold Gilman im November 2017 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 6.250,00 (€ 7.094,68) mehr als viermal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harold Gilman erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Interior (Mrs Mounter) im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 485.000,00 (€ 572.252,32).
