Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work The Barque Ocean Nymph running down the Channel by Harold Percival was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2005, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 100.00 – 200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 60.00 (€ 87.03). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Harold Percival achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Emigrant Ships Invercargill Of Glasgow; And Samuel Plimsoll Of Aberdeen in November 2001 with an auction result of GBP 822.50 (€ 1,308.86).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit The Barque Ocean Nymph running down the Channel von Harold Percival im Juli 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 100,00 – 200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 60,00 (€ 87,03) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Harold Percival erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Emigrant Ships Invercargill Of Glasgow; And Samuel Plimsoll Of Aberdeen im November 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 822,50 (€ 1.308,86).
