Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work St. James's Square, London by George James Rowe was auctioned at Christies in London in January 2008, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 700.00 – 900.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 500.00 (€ 670.27). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George James Rowe achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Pont Street, London in November 2005 with an auction result of GBP 6,000.00 (€ 8,814.76).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit St. James's Square, London von George James Rowe im Januar 2008 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 700,00 – 900,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 500,00 (€ 670,27) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George James Rowe erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Pont Street, London im November 2005 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.000,00 (€ 8.814,76).
