Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The 57-footer Senga in the Clyde by Alastair D. Houston was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2003. The price achieved of GBP 376.00 (€ 539.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alastair D. Houston - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Moonbeam and Tuiga, which sold at auction in July 2004 for USD 2,390.00 (€ 1,986.37).
