Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work A young ghillie with his dogs by George William Horlor was auctioned at Christies in London in October 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 1,500.00 – 2,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 1,440.00 (€ 2,123.56). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by George William Horlor achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The day's bag in October 2003 with an auction result of GBP 45,410.00 (€ 66,325.43).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit A young ghillie with his dogs von George William Horlor im Oktober 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 1.500,00 – 2.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 1.440,00 (€ 2.123,56) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von George William Horlor erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The day's bag im Oktober 2003 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 45.410,00 (€ 66.325,43).
