Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work At the Sick Man's Door; an illustration to Thackeray's 'Adventures of Philip' by Frederick Walker was auctioned at Christies in London in February 2003, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 9,560.00 (€ 13,957.30). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Frederick Walker achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Harbour Of Refuge in November 2004 with an auction result of GBP 139,650.00 (€ 200,885.77).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit At the Sick Man's Door; an illustration to Thackeray's 'Adventures of Philip' von Frederick Walker im Februar 2003 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 9.560,00 (€ 13.957,30) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Frederick Walker erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Harbour Of Refuge im November 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 139.650,00 (€ 200.885,77).
