Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A View of the Bronx River (New York) by George Gardner Symons was auctioned at Bonhams in Edinburgh in November this year, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 1,500.00 – 2,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,024.00 (€ 938.76). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Gardner Symons achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Blush of Evening in September 2007 with an auction result of USD 46,600.00 (€ 32,773.05).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A View of the Bronx River (New York) von George Gardner Symons im November diesen Jahres bei Bonhams in Edinburgh versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 1.500,00 – 2.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.024,00 (€ 938,76) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Gardner Symons erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Blush of Evening im September 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 46.600,00 (€ 32.773,05).
