Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2003 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian Pictures, which included the work The entrance to the cathedral at Burgos, Spain by Edwin Long. The price achieved of GBP 4,700.00 (€ 4,734.18) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Edwin Long achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Ancient Custom in May 2000 with an auction result of USD 776,000.00 (€ 831,903.95).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2003 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The entrance to the cathedral at Burgos, Spain von Edwin Long zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 4.700,00 (€ 4.734,18) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Edwin Long erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Ancient Custom im Mai 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 776.000,00 (€ 831.903,95).
