Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by John Gould achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in May 2007. In the Travel & Natural History auction, the work Avocettula Recurvirostris; Amazilia Viridigaster; Petasophora Delphinae; Heliangelus Clarisse; Aphantochroa Cirrhochloris; Eugenia Imperatrix; Cyanomyia Franciae; Amaziliz Alticola; Amazilia Reifferi; Amazilia Beryllina; Amazilia Dumerili; Amazilia D sold for GBP 9,000.00 (€ 13,244.11) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Gould achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] in May last year with an auction result of GBP 302,400.00 (€ 355,744.81).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von John Gould erzielte im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Travel & Natural History wurde die Arbeit Avocettula Recurvirostris; Amazilia Viridigaster; Petasophora Delphinae; Heliangelus Clarisse; Aphantochroa Cirrhochloris; Eugenia Imperatrix; Cyanomyia Franciae; Amaziliz Alticola; Amazilia Reifferi; Amazilia Beryllina; Amazilia Dumerili; Amazilia D für GBP 9.000,00 (€ 13.244,11) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Gould erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Birds of Australia, [1840- 1848-1869, 8 volumes including Supplement|AID711784] im Mai letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 302.400,00 (€ 355.744,81).
