Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of a lady, small half-length, seated, in a black dress with shawl and white mob cap by Andrew Geddes was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 720.00 (€ 1,059.53). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Andrew Geddes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Portrait of Flora Bellasis, three-quarter-length, in Indian Parsi dress in October 2006 with an auction result of GBP 19,200.00 (€ 28,686.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of a lady, small half-length, seated, in a black dress with shawl and white mob cap von Andrew Geddes im Mai 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 720,00 (€ 1.059,53) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Andrew Geddes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Portrait of Flora Bellasis, three-quarter-length, in Indian Parsi dress im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 19.200,00 (€ 28.686,51).
