Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Arthur Wellington Fowles could be acquired at Christies in London in May 2008 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Maritime auction, the work A big cutter approaching the turning mark with the crowded club steamer beyond changed hands for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,180.11) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Arthur Wellington Fowles achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Indian troopship Serapis arriving at Portsmouth, 11 May 1876, with H.R.H. The Prince of Wales aboard her on his return from India, and the Royal yacht Osborne following her in in November 2000 with an auction result of GBP 22,325.00 (€ 36,489.33).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Arthur Wellington Fowles konnte im Mai 2008 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Maritime wechselte die Arbeit A big cutter approaching the turning mark with the crowded club steamer beyond für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.180,11) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Arthur Wellington Fowles erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Indian troopship Serapis arriving at Portsmouth, 11 May 1876, with H.R.H. The Prince of Wales aboard her on his return from India, and the Royal yacht Osborne following her in im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.325,00 (€ 36.489,33).
