Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work The end of the pier by Henning Edens was auctioned at Christies in London in July 2007, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 180.00 (€ 267.34). Admittedly, works by Henning Edens have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Hamburger Hafen in December 2002 with an auction result of EUR 2,070.00.

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit The end of the pier von Henning Edens im Juli 2007 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 180,00 (€ 267,34) den Besitzer. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henning Edens auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Hamburger Hafen im Dezember 2002 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 2.070,00.
