Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Winter Rose by Charles Rennie Mackintosh was auctioned at Sothebys in London in November 2018, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 30,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 100,000.00 (€ 112,796.96). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Charles Rennie Mackintosh; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot A Hill Town in Southern France sold at auction in October 2004 with the realized price of GBP 94,850.00 (€ 136,515.24).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Winter Rose von Charles Rennie Mackintosh im November 2018 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 30.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 100.000,00 (€ 112.796,96) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Charles Rennie Mackintosh; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit A Hill Town in Southern France im Oktober 2004 mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 94.850,00 (€ 136.515,24).
