Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Double Portrait by Jessica Dismorr was auctioned at Bonhams in London in September last year, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 5,737.50 (€ 6,529.83). Admittedly, works by Jessica Dismorr have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Portrait of a Woman Seated in October this year with an auction result of GBP 35,280.00 (€ 40,511.24).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Double Portrait von Jessica Dismorr im September letzten Jahres bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 5.737,50 (€ 6.529,83) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jessica Dismorr auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Portrait of a Woman Seated im Oktober diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 35.280,00 (€ 40.511,24).
