Upper estimate price exceeded by 72 %.

In May 2002 Christies in London held the auction THE IRISH SALE, which included the work Shoreline, Bally Connell West by Sean McSweeney. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,585.00 (€ 4,048.14), 72% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Sean McSweeney - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Roskeeragh, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 6,572.50 (€ 9,861.17).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 72 % übertroffen

Im Mai 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion THE IRISH SALE durch, in der auch die Arbeit Shoreline, Bally Connell West von Sean McSweeney zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.585,00 (€ 4.048,14) und damit 72% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Sean McSweeney mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Roskeeragh beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 6.572,50 (€ 9.861,17) versteigert wurde.
