Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work Plans relating to William Pitt's Holwood House, Kent by John Soane was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2013, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 8,750.00 (€ 10,459.27). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by John Soane - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Design for a National Monument, which sold at auction in September 2013 for GBP 21,250.00 (€ 25,401.09).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Plans relating to William Pitt's Holwood House, Kent von John Soane im September 2013 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 8.750,00 (€ 10.459,27) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von John Soane mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Design for a National Monument beobachtet, die im September 2013 für GBP 21.250,00 (€ 25.401,09) versteigert wurde.
