Auction result misses estimated price range

In March 2008 a collector was able to acquire the work A labour of love by Harry Bright for GBP 187.50 (€ 235.55). This price was achieved in the auction Christie's Interiors at Christies in London and was even below the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Harry Bright have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work A chorus of song birds in an aviary in March 2002 with an auction result of GBP 940.00 (€ 1,536.65).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im März 2008 konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit A labour of love von Harry Bright für GBP 187,50 (€ 235,55) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Christie's Interiors bei Christies in London erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Harry Bright auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit A chorus of song birds in an aviary im März 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 940,00 (€ 1.536,65).
