Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The New Vitruvius Britannnicus: Volume II: Eight Plates by George Richardson was auctioned at Christies in New York in December 2002, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 2,500.00 – 3,500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 1,434.00 (€ 1,367.67). Other works by George Richardson have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in March 2004 by the work The New Vitruvius Britannicus: Six Plates at USD 3,107.00 (€ 2,527.66).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The New Vitruvius Britannnicus: Volume II: Eight Plates von George Richardson im Dezember 2002 bei Christies in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 2.500,00 – 3.500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 1.434,00 (€ 1.367,67) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von George Richardson wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im März 2004 die Arbeit The New Vitruvius Britannicus: Six Plates mit USD 3.107,00 (€ 2.527,66).
