Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work Lake Emerald, Canada by Winston Churchill was auctioned at Sothebys in London in March 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 8,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 47,500.00 (€ 54,081.37). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Winston Churchill achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tower Of The Koutoubia Mosque in March 2021 with an auction result of GBP 8,285,000.00 (€ 9,732,740.78).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Lake Emerald, Canada von Winston Churchill im März 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 8.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 47.500,00 (€ 54.081,37) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Winston Churchill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tower Of The Koutoubia Mosque im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.285.000,00 (€ 9.732.740,78).
