In July 2010 Christies in London held the auction Living with Design: The Collections of Walter Lees and Mr NC., which included the work Ouchy by Teddy Millington-Drake. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 812.50 (€ 976.94), 35% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Teddy Millington-Drake - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Four views of Easter Island, South-East Pacific, including: Poke Volcano; Moais at Rano Raraku; Moais at Aku Aki; and Fallen Moai with Poke Volcano in the distance, which sold at auction in May 2008 for GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,816.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 35 % übertroffen
Im Juli 2010 führte Christies in London die Auktion Living with Design: The Collections of Walter Lees and Mr NC. durch, in der auch die Arbeit Ouchy von Teddy Millington-Drake zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 812,50 (€ 976,94) und damit 35% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Teddy Millington-Drake mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Four views of Easter Island, South-East Pacific, including: Poke Volcano; Moais at Rano Raraku; Moais at Aku Aki; and Fallen Moai with Poke Volcano in the distance beobachtet, die im Mai 2008 für GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.816,13) versteigert wurde.
