Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Portrait of Mme du Cros, in a black dress by Charles Sims was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2011. The price achieved of GBP 1,750.00 (€ 1,980.12) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles Sims achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work In Elysium in December 2006 with an auction result of GBP 36,000.00 (€ 53,428.51).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Portrait of Mme du Cros, in a black dress von Charles Sims kam im März 2011 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.750,00 (€ 1.980,12) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles Sims erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit In Elysium im Dezember 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 36.000,00 (€ 53.428,51).
