Upper estimate price exceeded by 56 %.
In February 2017 Sothebys in London held the auction Erotic: Passion & Desire, which included the work Female Nude by Eric Gill. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 18,750.00 (€ 21,944.46), 56% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Eric Gill achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work St Joan of Arc in June 2015 with an auction result of GBP 2,210,500.00 (€ 3,116,777.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 56 % übertroffen
Im Februar 2017 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Erotic: Passion & Desire durch, in der auch die Arbeit Female Nude von Eric Gill zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 18.750,00 (€ 21.944,46) und damit 56% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Eric Gill erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit St Joan of Arc im Juni 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.210.500,00 (€ 3.116.777,25).
