Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2008 Christies in London held the auction Scottish Art, which included the work The Blue Mat by David McLeod Martin. The price achieved of GBP 3,500.00 (€ 4,462.01) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 3,000.00 – 4,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by David McLeod Martin - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Summer bouquet, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 10,200.00 (€ 15,009.99).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im April 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Scottish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Blue Mat von David McLeod Martin zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 3.500,00 (€ 4.462,01) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 3.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von David McLeod Martin mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Summer bouquet beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 10.200,00 (€ 15.009,99) versteigert wurde.
