Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work The Monk and his Donkey, Co. Mayo by Pádraig MacMiadhacháin was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,920.00 (€ 2,825.41). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Pádraig MacMiadhacháin; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Waiting For The Tide sold at auction in October 2007 with the realized price of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 5,026.23).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit The Monk and his Donkey, Co. Mayo von Pádraig MacMiadhacháin im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.920,00 (€ 2.825,41) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Pádraig MacMiadhacháin; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Waiting For The Tide im Oktober 2007 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 5.026,23).
