Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Mount Orgueil Castle from Petit Portelet, Jersey by Henry John Yeend King was auctioned at Christies in London in March 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of GBP 500.00 – 700.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for GBP 437.50 (€ 495.03). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry John Yeend King achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Haymaking in June 2000 with an auction result of GBP 47,000.00 (€ 74,500.79).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Mount Orgueil Castle from Petit Portelet, Jersey von Henry John Yeend King im März 2011 bei Christies in London versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 500,00 – 700,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für GBP 437,50 (€ 495,03) den Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry John Yeend King erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Haymaking im Juni 2000 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 47.000,00 (€ 74.500,79).
