Auction result well in line with expectations
In September 2004 Christies in London held the auction Exploration and Travel with The Polar Sale, which included the work Town of Dixan In Abyssinia by Henry Salt. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 4,000.00 – 6,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 4,182.50 (€ 6,093.37) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Salt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Twenty Four Views taken in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, Abyssinia & Egypt in September 2011 with an auction result of GBP 67,250.00 (€ 78,125.81).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im September 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Exploration and Travel with The Polar Sale durch, in der auch die Arbeit Town of Dixan In Abyssinia von Henry Salt zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 4.182,50 (€ 6.093,37) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Salt erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Twenty Four Views taken in St. Helena, the Cape, India, Ceylon, Abyssinia & Egypt im September 2011 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 67.250,00 (€ 78.125,81).
