Auction result well in line with expectations

In March 2018 Sothebys in London held the auction The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer, which included the work 'Harold Wilson, 1924 – Tony Blair, 1994' by Peter Brookes. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,138.56) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Admittedly, works by Peter Brookes have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work ‘Retire? Pah! Sir Alex Schmalex...’ in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 8,125.00 (€ 9,250.76).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im März 2018 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion The Political Cartoon Collection of Jeffrey Archer durch, in der auch die Arbeit 'Harold Wilson, 1924 – Tony Blair, 1994' von Peter Brookes zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.138,56) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Peter Brookes auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit ‘Retire? Pah! Sir Alex Schmalex...’ im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.125,00 (€ 9.250,76).
