This artwork by Edward Adrian Wilson achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2003. In the Exploration and Travel auction, the work The Emperor Penguin Rookery, Cape Crozier sold for GBP 9,560.00 (€ 9,629.53) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Adrian Wilson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp, which sold at auction in September 2007 for GBP 22,100.00 (€ 31,689.77).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 91 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Adrian Wilson erzielte im September 2003 bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Exploration and Travel wurde die Arbeit The Emperor Penguin Rookery, Cape Crozier für GBP 9.560,00 (€ 9.629,53) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Adrian Wilson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The sledge party to White Island, February 1902: Shackleton, Wilson and Ferrar preparing to set out; Shackleton and Wilson making camp beobachtet, die im September 2007 für GBP 22.100,00 (€ 31.689,77) versteigert wurde.
