Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In July 2007 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations, which included the work Gulls playing in the surf by Charles Sim Mottram. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 540.00 (€ 802.02). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Charles Sim Mottram - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Essex coast, which sold at auction in December 2001 for GBP 1,762.50 (€ 2,879.68).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Juli 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations durch, in der auch die Arbeit Gulls playing in the surf von Charles Sim Mottram zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 540,00 (€ 802,02) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Charles Sim Mottram mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Essex coast beobachtet, die im Dezember 2001 für GBP 1.762,50 (€ 2.879,68) versteigert wurde.
