Sold at the upper estimate price
In December 2008 Christies in London held the auction British Art on Paper, which included the work Moonlight: ships that pass in the night by Edward Duncan. The auction ended at the price of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 3,676.02), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00. Admittedly, works by Edward Duncan have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire in October 2000 with an auction result of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 26,109.34).

Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Edward Duncan auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 26.109,34).
