Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work To St. Albans And To Dorking By Bus by Austin Cooper was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2012, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 932.49). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Austin Cooper - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Paris For The Weekend, which sold at auction in November 2015 for GBP 2,000.00 (€ 2,848.70).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit To St. Albans And To Dorking By Bus von Austin Cooper im Oktober 2012 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 750,00 (€ 932,49) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Austin Cooper mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Paris For The Weekend beobachtet, die im November 2015 für GBP 2.000,00 (€ 2.848,70) versteigert wurde.
