Auction result well in line with expectations
In March last year Bonhams in London held the auction Travel & Exploration, which included the work A folio containing twelve views of Kashmir from 1884 to 1907 each 35.5 x 25.4cm (14 x 10in). (12) by George Strahan. The price achieved of GBP 2,295.00 (€ 2,720.98) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 2,000.00 – 3,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by George Strahan - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The bathing ghat in Haridwar, India, which sold at auction in June this year for GBP 4,864.00 (€ 5,660.86).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März letzten Jahres führte Bonhams in London die Auktion Travel & Exploration durch, in der auch die Arbeit A folio containing twelve views of Kashmir from 1884 to 1907 each 35.5 x 25.4cm (14 x 10in). (12) von George Strahan zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 2.295,00 (€ 2.720,98) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 2.000,00 – 3.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von George Strahan mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The bathing ghat in Haridwar, India beobachtet, die im Juni diesen Jahres für GBP 4.864,00 (€ 5.660,86) versteigert wurde.
