Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Boats at the Ostende docks by Claude Schurr was auctioned at Christies in London in May 2001. The price achieved of GBP 129.25 (€ 216.69) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 25.00 – 200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Claude Schurr achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Le port de Nice in February 2004 with an auction result of USD 6,572.50 (€ 5,282.94).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Boats at the Ostende docks von Claude Schurr kam im Mai 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 129,25 (€ 216,69) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 25,00 – 200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Claude Schurr erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Le port de Nice im Februar 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 6.572,50 (€ 5.282,94).
