Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work 'Hey Conran, Pass The Bloody Salt!' by Peter Brookes was auctioned at Bonhams in December last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 300.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 956.25 (€ 1,079.51). 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).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit 'Hey Conran, Pass The Bloody Salt!' von Peter Brookes im Dezember letzten Jahres bei Bonhams versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 300,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 956,25 (€ 1.079,51) mehr als dreimal so hoch. 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).
