Auction result well in line with expectations

The work The famous Irish public school which celebrated its centenary this year: St. Columba's College, a view from the east, showing (left) the chapel, and (right) the dining-hall by Bryan de Grineau was sold in the Christie's Interiors auction at Christies in London in October 2014. The price achieved of GBP 437.50 (€ 558.62) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Bryan de Grineau achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work I Spy Strangers: Churchill in March 2018 with an auction result of GBP 5,000.00 (€ 5,692.78).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit The famous Irish public school which celebrated its centenary this year: St. Columba's College, a view from the east, showing (left) the chapel, and (right) the dining-hall von Bryan de Grineau wurde im Oktober 2014 in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 437,50 (€ 558,62) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Bryan de Grineau erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit I Spy Strangers: Churchill im März 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 5.000,00 (€ 5.692,78).
