Auction result well in line with expectations

In April 2011 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work A lion and lioness in the desert by John Alexander Harington Bird. The price achieved of GBP 1,000.00 (€ 1,126.17) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Alexander Harington Bird achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Arab horses in the desert in June 2004 with an auction result of GBP 13,145.00 (€ 19,563.70).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im April 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit A lion and lioness in the desert von John Alexander Harington Bird zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.000,00 (€ 1.126,17) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Alexander Harington Bird erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Arab horses in the desert im Juni 2004 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 13.145,00 (€ 19.563,70).
