Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Basil Nightingale could be acquired at Christies in London in February this year for an unexpectedly low price. In the An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House auction, the work A bloodhound changed hands for GBP 1,764.00 (€ 2,012.08) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Basil Nightingale achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Breaking Cover in June 2013 with an auction result of GBP 17,500.00 (€ 20,425.63).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Basil Nightingale konnte im Februar diesen Jahres bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion An Opulent Aesthetic: An Important Private Collection from an English Country House wechselte die Arbeit A bloodhound für GBP 1.764,00 (€ 2.012,08) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Basil Nightingale erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Breaking Cover im Juni 2013 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 20.425,63).
