Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2006 Sothebys in Olympia held the auction British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures, which included the work The Coliseum From Palatine Hill, Rome by Fred Elwell. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,640.00 (€ 3,920.48) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Fred Elwell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Breakfast time, which sold at auction in May 2004 for GBP 9,560.00 (€ 14,343.52).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im November 2006 führte Sothebys in Olympia die Auktion British and Continental Pictures including Marine pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Coliseum From Palatine Hill, Rome von Fred Elwell zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.640,00 (€ 3.920,48) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Fred Elwell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Breakfast time beobachtet, die im Mai 2004 für GBP 9.560,00 (€ 14.343,52) versteigert wurde.
