Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price

When the work Banditti at Market by John Hamilton Mortimer was auctioned at Christies in London in December 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 31,250.00 (€ 37,426.29). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Hamilton Mortimer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Banditti fishing, which sold at auction in January 2012 for USD 116,500.00 (€ 89,251.51).

Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Banditti at Market von John Hamilton Mortimer im Dezember 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 31.250,00 (€ 37.426,29) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Hamilton Mortimer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Banditti fishing beobachtet, die im Januar 2012 für USD 116.500,00 (€ 89.251,51) versteigert wurde.
