Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Portrait Of A Young Gentleman by Nicholas Dixon was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2010, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 4,750.00 (€ 5,711.34). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Nicholas Dixon - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait Of James, Duke Of York, Later James Ii, King Of England (1633-1701), Circa 1665, which sold at auction in December 2018 for GBP 18,750.00 (€ 20,889.16).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Portrait Of A Young Gentleman von Nicholas Dixon im Juli 2010 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.750,00 (€ 5.711,34) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Dixon mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait Of James, Duke Of York, Later James Ii, King Of England (1633-1701), Circa 1665 beobachtet, die im Dezember 2018 für GBP 18.750,00 (€ 20.889,16) versteigert wurde.
