Auction result misses estimated price range

This work of art by Frank Egginton could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2010 for an unexpectedly low price. In the Christie's Interiors auction, the work Waves lapping against the sand, County Kerry, Ireland changed hands for GBP 250.00 (€ 298.75) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 400.00 – 600.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frank Egginton achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sheephaven and Melmore Head, from Horn Head, Co. Donegal in May 2001 with an auction result of GBP 7,050.00 (€ 11,819.49).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Dieses Kunstwerk von Frank Egginton konnte im November 2010 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion Christie's Interiors wechselte die Arbeit Waves lapping against the sand, County Kerry, Ireland für GBP 250,00 (€ 298,75) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 400,00 – 600,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frank Egginton erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sheephaven and Melmore Head, from Horn Head, Co. Donegal im Mai 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 7.050,00 (€ 11.819,49).
