Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.
In November 2021 Sothebys in London held the auction Modern British & Irish Art, which included the work Composition IV by Edward Wadsworth. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 75,600.00 (€ 88,761.51), 26% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Wadsworth - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Imaginary Harbour I, which sold at auction in November 2016 for GBP 197,000.00 (€ 232,440.63).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen
Im November 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Modern British & Irish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Composition IV von Edward Wadsworth zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 75.600,00 (€ 88.761,51) und damit 26% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Wadsworth mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Imaginary Harbour I beobachtet, die im November 2016 für GBP 197.000,00 (€ 232.440,63) versteigert wurde.
