Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Mexican eagle by Heinrich Gottlieb Reichenbach was sold in the British and Continental Watercolours including Original auction at Christies in London in July 2004. The price achieved of GBP 286.80 (€ 433.42) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 200.00 – 400.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Heinrich Gottlieb Reichenbach achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work [Die Vollständigste Naturgeschichte der Vögel des In- und Auslandes. -- A collection of ten albums containing about 940 mounted ornithological illustrations, including 771 original watercolours and drawings on 640 sheets, c. 1845-1862. 10 volumes, 4° (|AID948840] in November 2000 with an auction result of G
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Mexican eagle von Heinrich Gottlieb Reichenbach wurde im Juli 2004 in der Auktion British and Continental Watercolours including Original bei Christies in London versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 286,80 (€ 433,42) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 200,00 – 400,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Heinrich Gottlieb Reichenbach erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit [Die Vollständigste Naturgeschichte der Vögel des In- und Auslandes. -- A collection of ten albums containing about 940 mounted ornithological illustrations, including 771 original watercolours and drawings on 640 sheets, c. 1845-1862. 10 volumes, 4° (|AID948840] im November 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 69.750,00 (€ 114.003,62).
