Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2013 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work The Expectant Companion by Carlton Alfred Smith. The price achieved of GBP 1,062.50 (€ 1,242.23) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Carlton Alfred Smith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Christmas Eve in March 2008 with an auction result of GBP 29,300.00 (€ 36,808.07).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2013 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Expectant Companion von Carlton Alfred Smith zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.062,50 (€ 1.242,23) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Carlton Alfred Smith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Christmas Eve im März 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 29.300,00 (€ 36.808,07).
