Auction result misses estimated price range
In October 2012 a collector was able to acquire the work The River "Derby" by Arthur Watts for GBP 625.00 (€ 777.08). This price was achieved in the auction Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Arthur Watts have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Why Not Have A Go Yourself? Hampstead Station in October 2012 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 6,216.62).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im Oktober 2012 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit The River "Derby" von Arthur Watts für GBP 625,00 (€ 777,08) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Posters With A Purpose: The London Transport Museum Sale bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Arthur Watts auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Why Not Have A Go Yourself? Hampstead Station im Oktober 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 6.216,62).
