Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A garden in the Cotswolds by Arthur Hopkins was auctioned at Christies in London in February 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 1,380.00 (€ 2,045.80). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Hopkins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Fantasy Of The Deep in July 2017 with an auction result of GBP 90,000.00 (€ 100,426.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A garden in the Cotswolds von Arthur Hopkins im Februar 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 1.380,00 (€ 2.045,80) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Hopkins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Fantasy Of The Deep im Juli 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 90.000,00 (€ 100.426,18).
