Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Richard Cobden, M.P. (1804-1865), half-length, in a black coat and a grey waistcoat, in a feigned oval by Alexandre Marie Colin was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,613.87). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alexandre Marie Colin achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le Giaour in October 2001 with an auction result of USD 534,000.00 (€ 593,795.17).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Richard Cobden, M.P. (1804-1865), half-length, in a black coat and a grey waistcoat, in a feigned oval von Alexandre Marie Colin im September 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.613,87) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alexandre Marie Colin erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le Giaour im Oktober 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 534.000,00 (€ 593.795,17).
