Artwork auctioned at eight times the upper estimate price
When the work Two Heads by Jessica Dismorr was auctioned at Bonhams in London in April 2021, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 2,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than eight times as high at GBP 16,500.00 (€ 18,979.80). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jessica Dismorr - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Portrait of a Woman Seated, which sold at auction in October this year for GBP 35,280.00 (€ 40,511.24).
Kunstwerk zum Achtfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Two Heads von Jessica Dismorr im April 2021 bei Bonhams in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 2.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 16.500,00 (€ 18.979,80) mehr als achtmal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Jessica Dismorr mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Portrait of a Woman Seated beobachtet, die im Oktober diesen Jahres für GBP 35.280,00 (€ 40.511,24) versteigert wurde.
