Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Louis Wain achieved an unexpectedly high price at Bonhams in London in November this year. In the Modern British and Irish Art auction, the work Pirate Pussies sold for GBP 15,360.00 (€ 17,798.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 7,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Louis Wain - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Come Birdie Come and Live with Me, which sold at auction in November this year for GBP 38,400.00 (€ 44,497.25).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Louis Wain erzielte im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in London einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Modern British and Irish Art wurde die Arbeit Pirate Pussies für GBP 15.360,00 (€ 17.798,90) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von GBP 7.000,00.
