Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%

This artwork by Ronald Searle achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2011. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work 'Such Forcible Charm' sold for GBP 2,125.00 (€ 2,350.92) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Ronald Searle achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work 'Back To School' in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,657.85).

Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen

Dieses Kunstwerk von Ronald Searle erzielte im Juni 2011 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wurde die Arbeit 'Such Forcible Charm' für GBP 2.125,00 (€ 2.350,92) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Ronald Searle erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit 'Back To School' im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.657,85).
