Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Portrait of Aline Henderson, three-quarter length, in a blue dress, seated on a swing by Edward John Gregory was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,200.00 – 1,800.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,175.00 (€ 1,867.34). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward John Gregory achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Rediviva: Great-Grandmother'S Wedding Dress in June 2005 with an auction result of GBP 14,400.00 (€ 21,341.71).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Portrait of Aline Henderson, three-quarter length, in a blue dress, seated on a swing von Edward John Gregory im September 2002 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 1.200,00 – 1.800,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.175,00 (€ 1.867,34) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward John Gregory erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Rediviva: Great-Grandmother'S Wedding Dress im Juni 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 14.400,00 (€ 21.341,71).
