Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The Late Duke of Wellington by George Baxter was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 200.00 – 400.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 120.00 (€ 171.94). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Baxter - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gems of The Crystal Palace, Sydenham (The Exterior), which sold at auction in March 2006 for GBP 420.00 (€ 601.78).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The Late Duke of Wellington von George Baxter im März 2006 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 200,00 – 400,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 120,00 (€ 171,94) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George Baxter mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gems of The Crystal Palace, Sydenham (The Exterior) beobachtet, die im März 2006 für GBP 420,00 (€ 601,78) versteigert wurde.
