Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2001 Christies in London held the auction Sporting Art and Dogs, which included the work Mr James Pigg and Mr Jorrock's Hounds by Edwin Douglas. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,112.50 (€ 6,544.28) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edwin Douglas achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Favourite Story, A Gordon Setter And A Jack-Russell in May 2012 with an auction result of GBP 61,250.00 (€ 76,314.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2001 führte Christies in London die Auktion Sporting Art and Dogs durch, in der auch die Arbeit Mr James Pigg and Mr Jorrock's Hounds von Edwin Douglas zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.112,50 (€ 6.544,28) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edwin Douglas erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Favourite Story, A Gordon Setter And A Jack-Russell im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 61.250,00 (€ 76.314,81).
