Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Czech lady With Umbrella (Žena S Deštníkem) by Otakar Nejedlý was auctioned at Sothebys in London in June 2011, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,754.59). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Otakar Nejedlý - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Bathing girls, India, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 19,700.00 (€ 27,585.10).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Czech lady With Umbrella (Žena S Deštníkem) von Otakar Nejedlý im Juni 2011 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.625,00 (€ 11.754,59) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Otakar Nejedlý mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Bathing girls, India beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 19.700,00 (€ 27.585,10) versteigert wurde.
