A top price for Noel Ewart Odell - as previously expected

In September 2008 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel, which included the work "The Trough" East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Everest (north side), 1924. Mallory, Irvine & Sherpas resting at ca. 20,000ft. Photograph by N.E. Odell. by Noel Ewart Odell. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,844.90) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Even if this result could not surprise positively, "The Trough" East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Everest (north side), 1924. Mallory, Irvine & Sherpas resting at ca. 20,000ft. Photograph by N.E. Odell. is the most expensive artwork by Noel Ewart Odell that we have observed at auctions so far.

Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage

Im September 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel durch, in der auch die Arbeit "The Trough" East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Everest (north side), 1924. Mallory, Irvine & Sherpas resting at ca. 20,000ft. Photograph by N.E. Odell. von Noel Ewart Odell zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.844,90) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist "The Trough" East Rongbuk Glacier, Mount Everest (north side), 1924. Mallory, Irvine & Sherpas resting at ca. 20,000ft. Photograph by N.E. Odell. das teuerste Kunstwerk von Noel Ewart Odell, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
