Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price

When the work Creech Hill from Spargrove by Tristram Hillier was auctioned at Christies in London in May last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 6,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 27,720.00 (€ 32,609.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Tristram Hillier - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Selsey Bill, which sold at auction in June last year for GBP 57,000.00 (€ 66,217.79).

Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Creech Hill from Spargrove von Tristram Hillier im Mai letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 6.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 27.720,00 (€ 32.609,94) mehr als viermal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Tristram Hillier mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Selsey Bill beobachtet, die im Juni letzten Jahres für GBP 57.000,00 (€ 66.217,79) versteigert wurde.
