Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price

When the work Still life with Onion by Martin Mooney was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,120.36). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Martin Mooney; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Santa Maria della Salute from the Redentore, Venice sold at auction in May 2008 with the realized price of GBP 11,875.00 (€ 15,105.52).

Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Still life with Onion von Martin Mooney im Mai 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.120,36) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Martin Mooney; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Santa Maria della Salute from the Redentore, Venice im Mai 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 15.105,52).
