Artwork auctioned at six times the upper estimate price
When the work Her's is a lush situation - etching (W. 51) by Richard Hamilton was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2002, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 1,600.00 but the actual price achieved was more than six times as high at GBP 10,810.00 (€ 17,099.51). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Richard Hamilton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Epiphany in February 2015 with an auction result of GBP 557,000.00 (€ 768,020.27).
Kunstwerk zum Sechsfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Her's is a lush situation - etching (W. 51) von Richard Hamilton im Oktober 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 1.600,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 10.810,00 (€ 17.099,51) mehr als sechsmal so hoch. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Richard Hamilton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Epiphany im Februar 2015 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 557.000,00 (€ 768.020,27).
