This artwork by Edward Lear achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in July this year. In the Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours auction, the work Kandy, Ceylon sold for GBP 22,680.00 (€ 26,460.69) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Lear achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kasr-es-Saiyyad in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 938,400.00 (€ 1,392,538.40).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 89 % übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Edward Lear erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Christies in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Old Master and British Drawings and Watercolours wurde die Arbeit Kandy, Ceylon für GBP 22.680,00 (€ 26.460,69) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 12.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Lear erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kasr-es-Saiyyad im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 938.400,00 (€ 1.392.538,40).
