Charles Sims Mottram (British, 1807-1876)

28¾ x 50¼ in. (73 x 127.6 cm.), unframed

Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work A Stormy sea by Charles Mottram was auctioned at Christies in New York in September 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 62.50 (€ 44.39). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Mottram achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work New York in December 2004 with an auction result of USD 3,824.00 (€ 2,824.64).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit A Stormy sea von Charles Mottram im September 2008 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 62,50 (€ 44,39) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Mottram erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit New York im Dezember 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 3.824,00 (€ 2.824,64).
