Artwork auctioned at three times the upper estimate price
When the work Rocks of Dunure, Ayrshire; St. Abbs From Eymouth; And Coastal Scenes Near Fife by Alexander Ballingall was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2006, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 500.00 but the actual price achieved was more than three times as high at GBP 1,560.00 (€ 2,235.20). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Ballingall - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Broomielaw, Glasgow, (illustrated); and Mussel Banks, Musselburgh, which sold at auction in October 2000 for GBP 3,290.00 (€ 5,623.55).
Kunstwerk zum Dreifachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit Rocks of Dunure, Ayrshire; St. Abbs From Eymouth; And Coastal Scenes Near Fife von Alexander Ballingall im März 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 500,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 1.560,00 (€ 2.235,20) mehr als dreimal so hoch. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexander Ballingall mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Broomielaw, Glasgow, (illustrated); and Mussel Banks, Musselburgh beobachtet, die im Oktober 2000 für GBP 3.290,00 (€ 5.623,55) versteigert wurde.
