Artwork auctioned at nine times the upper estimate price
When the work A left eye with brown iris, curling brown lock of hair; sky and cloud surround by Nicholas Freese was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2000, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 700.00 but the actual price achieved was more than nine times as high at GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,562.70). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nicholas Freese; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A young officer of a light company, in red uniform with yellow facings, silver epaulettes, black stock and frilled white cravat, black shoulder belt with gilt belt plate, powdered hair; sky background sold at auction in December 2008 with the realized price of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 11,815.77).
Kunstwerk zum Neunfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit A left eye with brown iris, curling brown lock of hair; sky and cloud surround von Nicholas Freese im November 2000 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 700,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.562,70) mehr als neunmal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Nicholas Freese; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A young officer of a light company, in red uniform with yellow facings, silver epaulettes, black stock and frilled white cravat, black shoulder belt with gilt belt plate, powdered hair; sky background im Dezember 2008 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 11.815,77).
