Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Mauritius Giant Skink by Nick Bibby was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2018, 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 5,000.00 (€ 5,615.64). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Nick Bibby; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Bronze Barn Owl sold at auction in October 2018 with the realized price of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,638.46).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Mauritius Giant Skink von Nick Bibby im September 2018 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 5.000,00 (€ 5.615,64) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Nick Bibby; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Bronze Barn Owl im Oktober 2018 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.638,46).
