Upper estimate price exceeded by 68 %.
In May 2005 Christies in London held the auction 20th Century British Art, which included the work Boats Off The Coast, China by Mervyn Peake. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 840.00 (€ 1,240.10), 68% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Mervyn Peake achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The red room in April 2019 with an auction result of GBP 13,750.00 (€ 15,995.22).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 68 % übertroffen
Im Mai 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion 20th Century British Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boats Off The Coast, China von Mervyn Peake zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.240,10) und damit 68% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Mervyn Peake erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The red room im April 2019 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.750,00 (€ 15.995,22).
