Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work My Goodness my Guinness by John Thomas Young Gilroy was auctioned at Christies in London in March this year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 4,032.00 (€ 4,587.18). Admittedly, works by John Thomas Young Gilroy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tommy Cooper in November 2018 with an auction result of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 26,789.28).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit My Goodness my Guinness von John Thomas Young Gilroy im März diesen Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.032,00 (€ 4.587,18) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von John Thomas Young Gilroy auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tommy Cooper im November 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 26.789,28).
