Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in March 2011. In the Christie's Interiors Including Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours From The Collection of The Late John Appleby auction, the work The skipping rope sold for GBP 1,500.00 (€ 1,697.24) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 700.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mortimer Luddington Menpes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Benares, Blue Is The Sky in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 30,000.00 (€ 33,189.42).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mortimer Luddington Menpes erzielte im März 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors Including Paintings, Drawings & Watercolours From The Collection of The Late John Appleby wurde die Arbeit The skipping rope für GBP 1.500,00 (€ 1.697,24) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 700,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mortimer Luddington Menpes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Benares, Blue Is The Sky im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 30.000,00 (€ 33.189,42).
