Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Adullam 2 by Cecil King was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2009, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 625.00 (€ 673.97). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Cecil King achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Intrusion 1972 in October 2006 with an auction result of GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,239.71).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Adullam 2 von Cecil King im März 2009 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 625,00 (€ 673,97) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Cecil King erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Intrusion 1972 im Oktober 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.239,71).
