Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Salisbury Cathedral by Edward Dayes was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2016, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,875.00 (€ 2,227.91). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Dayes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Triumph of Beauty in December 2010 with an auction result of GBP 109,250.00 (€ 126,729.67).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Salisbury Cathedral von Edward Dayes im Juli 2016 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.875,00 (€ 2.227,91) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Dayes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Triumph of Beauty im Dezember 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 109.250,00 (€ 126.729,67).
