Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by James Dixon achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2002. In the THE IRISH SALE auction, the work Queen Mary Passing Tory Island sold for GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,040.40) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by James Dixon; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Self Portrait sold at auction in May 2001 with the realized price of GBP 11,750.00 (€ 19,699.14).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
