Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Completion of the Roman wall; After the flood; Extinction of the fire of London; Opening of the Royal College of Music; Chelsea pensioners hearing the news of Waterloo, June 1815; Completion of the Tower of Babel; Cleopatra's Needle arrives in the Th von Graham Laidler im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 2.400,00 (€ 3.564,55) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von Graham Laidler wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im März 2018 die Arbeit ‘Popular Misconceptions – How To Win The War’ mit GBP 3.500,00 (€ 3.984,94).
