Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A Corsican village by Bateson Mason was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 400.00 (€ 461.21). Admittedly, works by Bateson Mason have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Battersea Church in June 2003 with an auction result of GBP 2,629.00 (€ 3,778.02).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A Corsican village von Bateson Mason im Oktober 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 400,00 (€ 461,21) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Bateson Mason auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Battersea Church im Juni 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 2.629,00 (€ 3.778,02).
