Upper estimate price exceeded by 54 %.
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work Merika Waiting by Ken Howard. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 15,360.00 (€ 17,798.90), 54% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Ken Howard - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work From The Royal Exchange, Rain Effect, which sold at auction in March 2014 for GBP 32,500.00 (€ 39,336.39).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 54 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Merika Waiting von Ken Howard zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 15.360,00 (€ 17.798,90) und damit 54% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Ken Howard mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit From The Royal Exchange, Rain Effect beobachtet, die im März 2014 für GBP 32.500,00 (€ 39.336,39) versteigert wurde.
