Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work 'When the blue evening slowly falls' by Frank Bramley was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2015, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 100,000.00 – 150,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 98,500.00 (€ 138,883.76). Other works by Frank Bramley have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in July 2013 by the work When the blue evening slowly falls at GBP 163,875.00 (€ 187,255.75).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit 'When the blue evening slowly falls' von Frank Bramley im Juni 2015 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 100.000,00 – 150.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 98.500,00 (€ 138.883,76) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Frank Bramley wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Juli 2013 die Arbeit When the blue evening slowly falls mit GBP 163.875,00 (€ 187.255,75).
