Sold at the lower estimate price

The work The harbour at Inveraray, Argyll; and A Galloway landscape by George Houston was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2008. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,823.92) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George Houston achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Springtime in May 2008 with an auction result of GBP 31,700.00 (€ 40,323.79).

Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis

Die Arbeit The harbour at Inveraray, Argyll; and A Galloway landscape von George Houston kam im Oktober 2008 bei Christies in London zur Auktion. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.823,92) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George Houston erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Springtime im Mai 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 31.700,00 (€ 40.323,79).
