Upper estimate price exceeded by 49 %.
In November this year Bonhams in London held the auction Modern British and Irish Art, which included the work The Quirang, Skye by Peter Coker. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 4,480.00 (€ 5,191.35), 49% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Peter Coker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Promenade, Etretat, which sold at auction in March 2000 for GBP 8,280.00 (€ 13,770.02).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 49 % übertroffen
Im November diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Modern British and Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Quirang, Skye von Peter Coker zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 4.480,00 (€ 5.191,35) und damit 49% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Peter Coker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Promenade, Etretat beobachtet, die im März 2000 für GBP 8.280,00 (€ 13.770,02) versteigert wurde.
