Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by George Denholm Armour could be acquired at Christies in London in March 2004 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Watercolours auction, the work Humours of a remount depot; and Army dentistry changed hands for GBP 47.80 (€ 71.55) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Denholm Armour achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lion and Lioness at Rest in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 30,000.00 (€ 23,655.57).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von George Denholm Armour konnte im März 2004 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours wechselte die Arbeit Humours of a remount depot; and Army dentistry für GBP 47,80 (€ 71,55) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 200,00 – 400,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Denholm Armour erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Lion and Lioness at Rest im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 30.000,00 (€ 23.655,57).
