Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Fishing vessels at the entrance to the River Orwell, Suffolk by Edward Duncan was auctioned at Christies in London in March last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,000.00 – 1,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 504.00 (€ 597.55). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Duncan achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire in October 2000 with an auction result of GBP 15,275.00 (€ 26,109.34).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Fishing vessels at the entrance to the River Orwell, Suffolk von Edward Duncan im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.000,00 – 1.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 504,00 (€ 597,55) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Duncan erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tantallon Castle, Coast of Haddingtonshire im Oktober 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 15.275,00 (€ 26.109,34).
