Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming could be acquired at Christies in London in April 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Travel and Natural History including Modern Australian auction, the work Adam's Peak, Ceylon changed hands for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,131.41) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Lankatilaka Temple, Sri Lanka, which sold at auction in October 2019 for GBP 6,875.00 (€ 7,974.51).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming konnte im April 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Travel and Natural History including Modern Australian wechselte die Arbeit Adam's Peak, Ceylon für GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.131,41) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 1.500,00 – 2.500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Constance Frederica Gordon Cumming mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Lankatilaka Temple, Sri Lanka beobachtet, die im Oktober 2019 für GBP 6.875,00 (€ 7.974,51) versteigert wurde.
