Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2012 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Study of a State Trumpeter (illustrated); and Portrait of Field Marshal Lord Beechwood by Frank Owen Salisbury. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 700.00 – 1,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 750.00 (€ 934.47) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Owen Salisbury achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sen Sisters in September 2005 with an auction result of GBP 96,000.00 (€ 140,887.05).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Study of a State Trumpeter (illustrated); and Portrait of Field Marshal Lord Beechwood von Frank Owen Salisbury zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 1.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 750,00 (€ 934,47) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Owen Salisbury erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sen Sisters im September 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 96.000,00 (€ 140.887,05).
