Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work The Mediterranean From Rabita, Andalucia by Kurt Jackson was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, 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 four times as high at GBP 3,000.00 (€ 4,391.65). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Kurt Jackson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Rabbit Fence, Wind Break, Runner Beans, which sold at auction in March this year for GBP 15,300.00 (€ 17,406.71).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Mediterranean From Rabita, Andalucia von Kurt Jackson im Juli 2006 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 3.000,00 (€ 4.391,65) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Kurt Jackson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Rabbit Fence, Wind Break, Runner Beans beobachtet, die im März diesen Jahres für GBP 15.300,00 (€ 17.406,71) versteigert wurde.
