Auction result misses estimated price range

When the work Uncle Tom in the jail by Henry James Pidding was auctioned at Christies in London in September 2010, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 750.00 (€ 867.45). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry James Pidding achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 23,500.00 (€ 37,250.39).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Als die Arbeit Uncle Tom in the jail von Henry James Pidding im September 2010 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 750,00 (€ 867,45) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry James Pidding erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 23.500,00 (€ 37.250,39).
