Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Alfred William Strutt could be acquired at Christies in London in October 2000 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings auction, the work The angry visp changed hands for GBP 587.50 (€ 1,004.21) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 800.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Alfred William Strutt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A watched pot never boils in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 37,600.00 (€ 59,600.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Alfred William Strutt konnte im Oktober 2000 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings wechselte die Arbeit The angry visp für GBP 587,50 (€ 1.004,21) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 800,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Alfred William Strutt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A watched pot never boils im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 37.600,00 (€ 59.600,63).
