Artwork auctioned at five times the upper estimate price

When the work Contact by Eleanor Swordy was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 5,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than five times as high at GBP 27,500.00 (€ 32,249.45). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Eleanor Swordy - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Where To, which sold at auction in April 2021 for HKD 756,000.00 (€ 80,941.65).

Kunstwerk zum Fünffachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert

Als die Arbeit Contact von Eleanor Swordy im Juli 2021 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 5.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 27.500,00 (€ 32.249,45) mehr als fünfmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Eleanor Swordy mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Where To beobachtet, die im April 2021 für HKD 756.000,00 (€ 80.941,65) versteigert wurde.
