Auction result well in line with expectations
In July 2006 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours, which included the work The Guard And The Tramp by Gilbert Joseph Holiday. The price achieved of GBP 420.00 (€ 614.83) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Gilbert Joseph Holiday achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tattenham Corner, The Epsom Derby in June 2011 with an auction result of GBP 43,250.00 (€ 47,848.09).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juli 2006 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Guard And The Tramp von Gilbert Joseph Holiday zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 420,00 (€ 614,83) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Gilbert Joseph Holiday erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Tattenham Corner, The Epsom Derby im Juni 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 43.250,00 (€ 47.848,09).
