Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Views of Upper India including; Chunarghur; Augustus Cleveland's tomb, Bhagazpur; A Muslim tomb, Bhagazpur; Monghyr; and Sultanganj (illustrated) by Edward Hawke Locker was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2000. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,115.00 (€ 3,539.04) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edward Hawke Locker - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Views of southern India including; St. Thomé Chapel, Madras; View on the road from St. Thomé Chapel to Brodie Castle; and Muslim buildings near Madras (illustrated), which sold at auction in September 2000 for GBP 5,875.00 (€ 9,830.67).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Views of Upper India including; Chunarghur; Augustus Cleveland's tomb, Bhagazpur; A Muslim tomb, Bhagazpur; Monghyr; and Sultanganj (illustrated) von Edward Hawke Locker kam im September 2000 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.115,00 (€ 3.539,04) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Edward Hawke Locker mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Views of southern India including; St. Thomé Chapel, Madras; View on the road from St. Thomé Chapel to Brodie Castle; and Muslim buildings near Madras (illustrated) beobachtet, die im September 2000 für GBP 5.875,00 (€ 9.830,67) versteigert wurde.
