Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Edward Bawden achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in September 2020. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Quarry in Wales sold for GBP 4,062.50 (€ 4,479.57) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Bawden achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The English Pub in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 36,000.00 (€ 53,461.13).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Bawden erzielte im September 2020 bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Quarry in Wales für GBP 4.062,50 (€ 4.479,57) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 2.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Bawden erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The English Pub im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 36.000,00 (€ 53.461,13).
