Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Looking Glass Suite by Peter Sedgley was auctioned at Phillips in London in January 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,250.00 (€ 5,994.33). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Peter Sedgley achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Counterpoint in January 2020 with an auction result of GBP 62,500.00 (€ 74,343.05).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Looking Glass Suite von Peter Sedgley im Januar 2018 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.250,00 (€ 5.994,33) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Peter Sedgley erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Counterpoint im Januar 2020 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 62.500,00 (€ 74.343,05).
