Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2002 Christies in London held the auction British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings, which included the work Fishing boats at St Ives by Henry Meynell Rheam. The price achieved of GBP 1,034.00 (€ 1,635.61) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 800.00 – 1,200.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Meynell Rheam achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Once Upon A Time (Snow White) in May 2011 with an auction result of GBP 37,250.00 (€ 42,595.49).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Oktober 2002 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Continental Watercolours and Drawings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Fishing boats at St Ives von Henry Meynell Rheam zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 1.034,00 (€ 1.635,61) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 800,00 – 1.200,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Meynell Rheam erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Once Upon A Time (Snow White) im Mai 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 37.250,00 (€ 42.595,49).
