Auction result well in line with expectations

In July 2012 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & British Impressionist Art, which included the work The Grand Canal, Venice by Arthur Spooner. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,273.73) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Spooner achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Goose Fair, Nottingham in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 218,050.00 (€ 324,523.71).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Juli 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Grand Canal, Venice von Arthur Spooner zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.273,73) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Spooner erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Goose Fair, Nottingham im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 218.050,00 (€ 324.523,71).
