Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Mervyn Peake achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2016. In the Brian Sewell - Critic & Collector auction, the work David Jones sold for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,080.15) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mervyn Peake - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The red room, which sold at auction in April 2019 for GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,995.22).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Mervyn Peake erzielte im September 2016 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Brian Sewell - Critic & Collector wurde die Arbeit David Jones für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.080,15) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00.
