Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Place de la Fontaine by Francis Smith was sold in the Impressionist/Modern auction at Christies in London in June 2012. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,477.98) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francis Smith - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Scene Villageoise Au Portugal, which sold at auction in February 2007 for EUR 49,329.00.

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Place de la Fontaine von Francis Smith wurde im Juni 2012 in der Auktion Impressionist/Modern bei Christies in London versteigert. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.477,98) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Francis Smith mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Scene Villageoise Au Portugal beobachtet, die im Februar 2007 für EUR 49.329,00 versteigert wurde.
