Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Arthur Gaskell could be acquired at Christies in London in July 2007 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations auction, the work Checking for thorns changed hands for GBP 480.00 (€ 712.91) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 500.00 – 800.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Arthur Gaskell - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Tea time, which sold at auction in October 2001 for GBP 1,292.50 (€ 2,088.87).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Arthur Gaskell konnte im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Original Book Illustrations wechselte die Arbeit Checking for thorns für GBP 480,00 (€ 712,91) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 500,00 – 800,00. Für andere Arbeiten von George Arthur Gaskell mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Tea time beobachtet, die im Oktober 2001 für GBP 1.292,50 (€ 2.088,87) versteigert wurde.
