Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Scene At Marrakech by Winston Churchill was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,882,500.00 (€ 2,211,452.57). Admittedly, works by Winston Churchill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Scene At Marrakech von Winston Churchill im März 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.882.500,00 (€ 2.211.452,57) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Winston Churchill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tower Of The Koutoubia Mosque im März 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 8.285.000,00 (€ 9.732.740,78).
