Auction result well in line with expectations

The work A view in Calcutta, thought to be the South Park Street Cemetery by C. J. Martin was sold in the Travel & Exploration Sale auction at Bonhams in London in June this year. The price achieved of GBP 12,800.00 (€ 14,897.00) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by C. J. Martin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work A group of merchants on a lawn, Rio de Janeiro, a glimpse of Corcovado beyond, which sold at auction in October 2014 for GBP 25,000.00 (€ 31,921.39).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit A view in Calcutta, thought to be the South Park Street Cemetery von C. J. Martin wurde im Juni diesen Jahres in der Auktion Travel & Exploration Sale bei Bonhams in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 12.800,00 (€ 14.897,00) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von C. J. Martin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit A group of merchants on a lawn, Rio de Janeiro, a glimpse of Corcovado beyond beobachtet, die im Oktober 2014 für GBP 25.000,00 (€ 31.921,39) versteigert wurde.
