Auction result well in line with expectations
In December this year Christies in London held the auction Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours, which included the work Dendera, Egypt by Edward Lear. The price achieved of GBP 11,970.00 (€ 13,788.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward Lear achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Kasr-es-Saiyyad in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 938,400.00 (€ 1,392,538.40).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember diesen Jahres führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Masters Part II: Paintings, Sculpture, Drawings and Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit Dendera, Egypt von Edward Lear zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 11.970,00 (€ 13.788,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward Lear erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Kasr-es-Saiyyad im Juni 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 938.400,00 (€ 1.392.538,40).
