Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Russia And China Tried To Put The Old Ways Of Communism Behind Them by Kevin Kallaugher was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 2,750.00 (€ 3,131.03). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Kevin Kallaugher; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Thatcher Mirrors Herself On De Gaulle sold at auction in March 2018 with the realized price of GBP 4,375.00 (€ 4,981.18).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Russia And China Tried To Put The Old Ways Of Communism Behind Them von Kevin Kallaugher im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 2.750,00 (€ 3.131,03) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Kevin Kallaugher; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Thatcher Mirrors Herself On De Gaulle im März 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 4.375,00 (€ 4.981,18).
