Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A collection of 58 pencil drawings of Italian, French and Egyptian landscapes, river and architectural views including: Views of Chiavenna; The Church of San Antonia, Padua; The Villa Pachierotti, Padua; The Church of San Zeno, Verona; The Lion sculp by Edward William Cooke was auctioned at Christies in London in May last year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00, of which not Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edward William Cooke achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Bella Venezia in November 2006 with an auction result of GBP 209,600.00 (€ 311,262.56).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A collection of 58 pencil drawings of Italian, French and Egyptian landscapes, river and architectural views including: Views of Chiavenna; The Church of San Antonia, Padua; The Villa Pachierotti, Padua; The Church of San Zeno, Verona; The Lion sculp von Edward William Cooke im Mai 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 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 6.930,00 (€ 8.152,49) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edward William Cooke erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Bella Venezia im November 2006 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 209.600,00 (€ 311.262,56).
