Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Goshawk's Nest by Edward Adrian Wilson was sold in the Exploration and Travel auction at Christies in London in September 2003. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 2,270.50 (€ 2,287.01), 51% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Adrian Wilson achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 22,100.00 (€ 31,689.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 51 % übertroffen
