In September 2010 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale, which included the work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's chart of the Southern Journey, 1911-12 by Patrick Keohane. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 11,875.00 (€ 13,734.70), 48% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Patrick Keohane - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by him in the hut at Cape Evans, and carried by him on the expedition, which sold at auction in September 2010 for GBP 30,000.00 (€ 34,698.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 48 % übertroffen
Im September 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's chart of the Southern Journey, 1911-12 von Patrick Keohane zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 11.875,00 (€ 13.734,70) und damit 48% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Patrick Keohane mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13: Keohane's sledging flag, sewn and embroidered by him in the hut at Cape Evans, and carried by him on the expedition beobachtet, die im September 2010 für GBP 30.000,00 (€ 34.698,18) versteigert wurde.
