Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Donald Fraser Gould McGill could be acquired at Christies in London in December 2003 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book auction, the work 'You Should Be Very Careful, You Know, You Might Get Interested In Your Work And Let Your Pipe Go Out!' changed hands for GBP 293.75 (€ 416.06) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Admittedly, works by Donald Fraser Gould McGill have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Look at' er! Look at' er! in June 2002 with an auction result of GBP 1,410.00 (€ 2,180.95).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Donald Fraser Gould McGill konnte im Dezember 2003 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British & Continental Watercolours including Original Book wechselte die Arbeit 'You Should Be Very Careful, You Know, You Might Get Interested In Your Work And Let Your Pipe Go Out!' für GBP 293,75 (€ 416,06) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Donald Fraser Gould McGill auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Look at' er! Look at' er! im Juni 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.410,00 (€ 2.180,95).
