Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Arthur Quartley could be acquired at Christies in New York in January 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime Art auction, the work The tug rescue changed hands for USD 7,200.00 (€ 5,539.31) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of USD 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Admittedly, works by Arthur Quartley have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Morning, Marblehead, Massachusetts in March 2005 with an auction result of USD 38,400.00 (€ 29,609.07).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Arthur Quartley konnte im Januar 2007 bei Christies in New York für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime Art wechselte die Arbeit The tug rescue für USD 7.200,00 (€ 5.539,31) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von USD 8.000,00 – 12.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Arthur Quartley auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Morning, Marblehead, Massachusetts im März 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 38.400,00 (€ 29.609,07).
