Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Christ leads the Blind Man out of Bethsaida by Frederick James Shields was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2011. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 4,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,626.64) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederick James Shields achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Mary Magdalene in June 2010 with an auction result of GBP 22,500.00 (€ 27,362.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Christ leads the Blind Man out of Bethsaida von Frederick James Shields kam im November 2011 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 4.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.626,64) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederick James Shields erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Mary Magdalene im Juni 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 22.500,00 (€ 27.362,09).
