Upper estimate price exceeded by 66 %.
In September this year Bonhams in New York held the auction Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner, which included the work Richard the Opossum by Paul Landacre. The »bidding war« ended at USD 832.00 (€ 786.09), 66% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Paul Landacre achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Press in August this year with an auction result of USD 25,200.00 (€ 23,249.38).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 66 % übertroffen
Im September diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in New York die Auktion Prints & Photographs | Bonhams Skinner durch, in der auch die Arbeit Richard the Opossum von Paul Landacre zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 832,00 (€ 786,09) und damit 66% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Paul Landacre erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Press im August diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 25.200,00 (€ 23.249,38).
