Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

In May 2000 Christies in London held the auction Fine Photographs, which included the work Xie with violin, 1876 by Lewis Carroll. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,162.50 (€ 17,911.70), 24% above the upper estimate. Admittedly, works by Lewis Carroll have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Alexandra Kitchin in April 2008 with an auction result of USD 133,000.00 (€ 85,431.65).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Im Mai 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion Fine Photographs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Xie with violin, 1876 von Lewis Carroll zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.162,50 (€ 17.911,70) und damit 24% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Lewis Carroll auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Alexandra Kitchin im April 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 133.000,00 (€ 85.431,65).
