Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work The old guard by Thierry Poncelet was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2012, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 800.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,572.57). Admittedly, works by Thierry Poncelet have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A gentleman setter in February 2021 with an auction result of GBP 32,750.00 (€ 37,770.96).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit The old guard von Thierry Poncelet im Juli 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 800,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 4.375,00 (€ 5.572,57) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Thierry Poncelet auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A gentleman setter im Februar 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 32.750,00 (€ 37.770,96).
