Auction result well in line with expectations
In March 2004 Christies in London held the auction British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings, which included the work In the valley of the Thames by Harry John Johnstone. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 3,346.00 (€ 5,008.66) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Harry John Johnstone - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Gathering clams, which sold at auction in September 2001 for GBP 6,462.50 (€ 10,434.18).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im März 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit In the valley of the Thames von Harry John Johnstone zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 3.346,00 (€ 5.008,66) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von Harry John Johnstone mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Gathering clams beobachtet, die im September 2001 für GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.434,18) versteigert wurde.
