Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The upper floor of Rembrandt's father's mill, Koukerk by Edward William Cooke was auctioned at Bonhams in London in March 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 even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 6,375.00 (€ 7,558.28). 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 The upper floor of Rembrandt's father's mill, Koukerk von Edward William Cooke im März letzten Jahres bei Bonhams 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 6.375,00 (€ 7.558,28) 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).
