Auction result misses estimated price range
In November 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work Sympathy by Edward Hughes for GBP 2,500.00 (€ 3,022.69). This price was achieved in the auction A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation at Sothebys in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00 set by the auction house. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Hughes achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work British an English Artist Collecting Costumes In Brittany in February 2018 with an auction result of USD 50,000.00 (€ 40,946.69).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Im November 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Sympathy von Edward Hughes für GBP 2.500,00 (€ 3.022,69) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion A GREAT BRITISH COLLECTION: The pictures collected by Sir David and Lady Scott, sold to benefit the Finnis Scott Foundation bei Sothebys in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Hughes erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit British an English Artist Collecting Costumes In Brittany im Februar 2018 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 50.000,00 (€ 40.946,69).
