Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Roast Beef Of Old England by Edwin Hughes was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in January 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 8,000.00 – 10,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 7,500.00 (€ 5,468.47). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Edwin Hughes - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Rivals, which sold at auction in November 2007 for GBP 11,875.00 (€ 16,628.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Roast Beef Of Old England von Edwin Hughes im Januar 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 8.000,00 – 10.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 7.500,00 (€ 5.468,47) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Edwin Hughes mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Rivals beobachtet, die im November 2007 für GBP 11.875,00 (€ 16.628,07) versteigert wurde.
