David Abercrombie Donaldson, R.S.A. (1916-1996)
Primroses
signed 'Donaldson' (lower left)
oil on panel
14 x 14 in. (35.5 x 35.5 cm.)

Upper estimated price slightly exceeded

The work Primroses by David Donaldson was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2001. Here, the upper estimate of GBP 3,500.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for GBP 3,525.00 (€ 5,609.39). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David Donaldson - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Young girl in an interior, which sold at auction in October 2003 for GBP 10,516.00 (€ 15,359.57).

Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen

Die Arbeit Primroses von David Donaldson kam im November 2001 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von GBP 3.500,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für GBP 3.525,00 (€ 5.609,39) einen neuen Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von David Donaldson mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Young girl in an interior beobachtet, die im Oktober 2003 für GBP 10.516,00 (€ 15.359,57) versteigert wurde.
