Auction result well in line with expectations
In June 2000 Christies in London held the auction British Pictures, which included the work Naval Intelligence; Greenwich Pensioners reading a copy of The Times by Henry James Pidding. The price achieved of GBP 9,400.00 (€ 14,900.16) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Henry James Pidding - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room, which sold at auction in June 2000 for GBP 23,500.00 (€ 37,250.39).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Juni 2000 führte Christies in London die Auktion British Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Naval Intelligence; Greenwich Pensioners reading a copy of The Times von Henry James Pidding zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 9.400,00 (€ 14.900,16) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Für andere Arbeiten von Henry James Pidding mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Figures playing baccarat in a gaming room beobachtet, die im Juni 2000 für GBP 23.500,00 (€ 37.250,39) versteigert wurde.
