Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A lazy day in the farmyard; and Sailing in the sun, Rowhedge by George J. Charlton was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2006, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 180.00 (€ 263.50). Admittedly, works by George J. Charlton have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Bloomsbury In The Sun in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 840.00 (€ 1,234.07).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A lazy day in the farmyard; and Sailing in the sun, Rowhedge von George J. Charlton im Juli 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 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 180,00 (€ 263,50) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von George J. Charlton auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Bloomsbury In The Sun im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 840,00 (€ 1.234,07).
