Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price
When the work Tower Bridge and Ship Offloading into Three Barges in the Upper Pool, London by Jim Page-Roberts was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2010, 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 five times as high at GBP 7,500.00 (€ 8,699.98). Admittedly, works by Jim Page-Roberts have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The Shed, Chelsea Football Ground in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 33,600.00 (€ 49,866.61).
Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Tower Bridge and Ship Offloading into Three Barges in the Upper Pool, London von Jim Page-Roberts im Dezember 2010 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 7.500,00 (€ 8.699,98) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jim Page-Roberts auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The Shed, Chelsea Football Ground im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 33.600,00 (€ 49.866,61).
