Upper estimate price exceeded by 28 %.
The work The Idealist by Desmond Morris was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March last year. It achieved a price of GBP 2,550.00 (€ 3,023.31), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 28%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Desmond Morris achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Courtship in November 2021 with an auction result of EUR 56,250.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis um 28 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit The Idealist von Desmond Morris kam im März letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von GBP 2.550,00 (€ 3.023,31) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 28%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Desmond Morris erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Courtship im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 56.250,00.
