Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July this year Bonhams in London held the auction British and European Art, which included the work Sketch of Monte Cima and Lake Lugano by Edward Lear. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 1,152.00 (€ 1,344.03), 15% above the upper estimate. 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 leicht übertroffen
Im Juli diesen Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion British and European Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sketch of Monte Cima and Lake Lugano von Edward Lear zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 1.152,00 (€ 1.344,03) und damit 15% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. 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).
