Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Walter Richard Sickert achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in March this year. In the Pictures and Prints Online auction, the work The Orchestra Pit c.1906 sold for GBP 2,295.00 (€ 2,611.01) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Walter Richard Sickert achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L' Eldorado in November 2016 with an auction result of GBP 245,000.00 (€ 289,075.91).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Walter Richard Sickert erzielte im März diesen Jahres bei Bonhams einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Pictures and Prints Online wurde die Arbeit The Orchestra Pit c.1906 für GBP 2.295,00 (€ 2.611,01) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Walter Richard Sickert erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L' Eldorado im November 2016 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 245.000,00 (€ 289.075,91).
