Artwork auctioned at seven times the upper estimate price
When the work Coborn Street, Bow by Harold Steggles was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2008, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than seven times as high at GBP 5,625.00 (€ 6,801.05). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Harold Steggles; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Warner Street, London Ec1 sold at auction in November 2008 with the realized price of GBP 6,875.00 (€ 8,312.39).
Kunstwerk zum Siebenfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Coborn Street, Bow von Harold Steggles im November 2008 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.625,00 (€ 6.801,05) mehr als siebenmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Harold Steggles; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Warner Street, London Ec1 im November 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 6.875,00 (€ 8.312,39).
