Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Feeding the chickens; and The harbour by Elizabeth Whitehead was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 300.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 152.75 (€ 221.28). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Elizabeth Whitehead - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Variegated dahlias in a glass vase, on a table, which sold at auction in May 2007 for GBP 420.00 (€ 618.06).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Feeding the chickens; and The harbour von Elizabeth Whitehead im März 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 300,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 152,75 (€ 221,28) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von Elizabeth Whitehead mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Variegated dahlias in a glass vase, on a table beobachtet, die im Mai 2007 für GBP 420,00 (€ 618,06) versteigert wurde.
