Upper estimate price exceeded by 88 %.
This artwork by Louis Wain achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in Los Angeles in July this year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Oh Dear, She Forgot to Put the Sugar in the Tea, And We Did Not Say Anything. sold for GBP 2,816.00 (€ 3,285.42) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Louis Wain achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Come Birdie Come and Live with Me in November this year with an auction result of GBP 38,400.00 (€ 44,497.25).

Dieses Kunstwerk von Louis Wain erzielte im Juli diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Los Angeles einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Oh Dear, She Forgot to Put the Sugar in the Tea, And We Did Not Say Anything. für GBP 2.816,00 (€ 3.285,42) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 1.500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Louis Wain erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Come Birdie Come and Live with Me im November diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 38.400,00 (€ 44.497,25).
