Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Harry Bloomfield achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2005. In the THE COLLECTION OF S.A.R. LA PRINCIPESSA REALE DI SAVOIA auction, the work Portrait of a man in a top hat sold for GBP 660.00 (€ 976.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 300.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harry Bloomfield achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Seated Nude in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 9,000.00 (€ 13,338.57).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Harry Bloomfield erzielte im April 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion THE COLLECTION OF S.A.R. LA PRINCIPESSA REALE DI SAVOIA wurde die Arbeit Portrait of a man in a top hat für GBP 660,00 (€ 976,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 300,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harry Bloomfield erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Seated Nude im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 9.000,00 (€ 13.338,57).
