This artwork by Mrs. E. Powell achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2005. In the British Art on Paper auction, the work Orchidaceae: Odontoglossum Clowesii sold for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,134.17) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Mrs. E. Powell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Orchidaceae: Dendrobium Densiflorum Wallich Ex Lindley And Dendrobium Linawianum Reichb.F., which sold at auction in June 2005 for GBP 3,120.00 (€ 4,624.04).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Mrs. E. Powell erzielte im Juni 2005 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion British Art on Paper wurde die Arbeit Orchidaceae: Odontoglossum Clowesii für GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.134,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Mrs. E. Powell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Orchidaceae: Dendrobium Densiflorum Wallich Ex Lindley And Dendrobium Linawianum Reichb.F. beobachtet, die im Juni 2005 für GBP 3.120,00 (€ 4.624,04) versteigert wurde.
