Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work R.R.S. Discovery In Antartic Waters by George R. Cummings was auctioned at Christies in London in November 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 480.00 (€ 705.18). However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George R. Cummings - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Shackleton'S Endurance Arriving At Grytviken, South Georgia, which sold at auction in November 2004 for GBP 1,673.00 (€ 2,406.60).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit R.R.S. Discovery In Antartic Waters von George R. Cummings im November 2005 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 480,00 (€ 705,18) den Besitzer. Für andere Arbeiten von George R. Cummings mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Shackleton'S Endurance Arriving At Grytviken, South Georgia beobachtet, die im November 2004 für GBP 1.673,00 (€ 2.406,60) versteigert wurde.
