Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work a collection of 16 etchings, 1970-71, comprising Down on the Farm, Drunken Bidford, Harvest Home, Grand Central, Shrimp Girl, South Service Cafeteria, Edge of the Blue, A Department Store, If a Life is a Restuarant, Automobile Factory, Was that John, Port by Christopher Orr was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 400.00, of which not even Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Christopher Orr achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Thin Air in April 2018 with an auction result of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 14,236.17).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit a collection of 16 etchings, 1970-71, comprising Down on the Farm, Drunken Bidford, Harvest Home, Grand Central, Shrimp Girl, South Service Cafeteria, Edge of the Blue, A Department Store, If a Life is a Restuarant, Automobile Factory, Was that John, Port von Christopher Orr im Oktober 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 400,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 144,00 (€ 212,36) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Christopher Orr erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Thin Air im April 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 14.236,17).
