Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In December 2009 Sothebys in Toronto held the auction Important Canadian Art, which included the work British Columbia Landscape by Emily Carr. The »bidding war« ended at CAD 359,000.00 (€ 239,441.88), 20% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Emily Carr achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Skedans in November 2019 with an auction result of USD 3,260,000.00 (€ 2,958,526.18).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2009 führte Sothebys in Toronto die Auktion Important Canadian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit British Columbia Landscape von Emily Carr zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von CAD 359.000,00 (€ 239.441,88) und damit 20% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Emily Carr erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Skedans im November 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.260.000,00 (€ 2.958.526,18).
