Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of the architect P. Norman, seated, half-length, in a brown coat by Charles Napier Kennedy was auctioned at Christies in London in April 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 625.00 (€ 703.86). Admittedly, works by Charles Napier Kennedy have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work The artist's studio in September 2008 with an auction result of GBP 3,250.00 (€ 4,109.30).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of the architect P. Norman, seated, half-length, in a brown coat von Charles Napier Kennedy im April 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 625,00 (€ 703,86) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Charles Napier Kennedy auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit The artist's studio im September 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 3.250,00 (€ 4.109,30).
