Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A House On The Rio Pasig, Manila by Charles William Andrews was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 2,040.00 (€ 2,986.32). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Charles William Andrews achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Parade Ground, by Murray Barracks, Hong Kong, with horses paraded along Queen's Road, the cricket ground and a view across the harbour to Kowloon beyond in September 2007 with an auction result of GBP 38,900.00 (€ 55,779.74).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A House On The Rio Pasig, Manila von Charles William Andrews im Juli 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.040,00 (€ 2.986,32) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Charles William Andrews erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Parade Ground, by Murray Barracks, Hong Kong, with horses paraded along Queen's Road, the cricket ground and a view across the harbour to Kowloon beyond im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 38.900,00 (€ 55.779,74).
