Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work After Lavater: The Savage Parade by Tom Phillips was auctioned at Phillips in London in April 2017, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 3,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 10,625.00 (€ 12,617.37). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tom Phillips - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Berlin Wall with German Grass and Skies II, which sold at auction in December 2018 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 27,852.22).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit After Lavater: The Savage Parade von Tom Phillips im April 2017 bei Phillips in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 3.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.625,00 (€ 12.617,37) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Tom Phillips mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Berlin Wall with German Grass and Skies II beobachtet, die im Dezember 2018 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 27.852,22) versteigert wurde.
