Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Jeux du Croquet, Jardins du Luxembourg by Rupert Bunny was sold in the Modern and Contemporary Australian and South African Art auction at Christies in London in December 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 23,750.00 (€ 24,944.41), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 19%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Rupert Bunny achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Femme Lisant in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 301,250.00 (€ 333,277.13).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Jeux du Croquet, Jardins du Luxembourg von Rupert Bunny wurde im Dezember 2008 in der Auktion Modern and Contemporary Australian and South African Art bei Christies in London versteigert. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 23.750,00 (€ 24.944,41) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 19%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Rupert Bunny erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Femme Lisant im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 301.250,00 (€ 333.277,13).
