Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Frozen frolics by Alexander Rosell was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 940.00 (€ 1,309.66). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Alexander Rosell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Domestic Bliss, which sold at auction in September 2000 for GBP 1,645.00 (€ 2,752.59).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Frozen frolics von Alexander Rosell im Mai 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 940,00 (€ 1.309,66) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Alexander Rosell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Domestic Bliss beobachtet, die im September 2000 für GBP 1.645,00 (€ 2.752,59) versteigert wurde.
