Auction result well in line with expectations

The work Twelve Ornithological Studies from, A Natural History of Uncommon Birds by George Edwards was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2010. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 2,250.00 (€ 2,736.21) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Edwards - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds, which sold at auction in May 2012 for GBP 5,250.00 (€ 6,541.27).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Die Arbeit Twelve Ornithological Studies from, A Natural History of Uncommon Birds von George Edwards kam im Juni 2010 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 2.250,00 (€ 2.736,21) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von George Edwards mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Twelve Ornithological Studies, from A Natural History of Uncommon Birds beobachtet, die im Mai 2012 für GBP 5.250,00 (€ 6.541,27) versteigert wurde.
