Auction result well in line with expectations
In October 2012 Christies in London held the auction Travel, Science and Natural History, which included the work Twenty Four Views Taken In St.Helena, The Cape, India, Ceylon, Abyssinia & Egypt (Abbey Travel 515, Nos. 1-25) by Henry Salt. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 12,000.00 – 18,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 15,541.56) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. Admittedly, works by Henry Salt have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved 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 Oktober 2012 führte Christies in London die Auktion Travel, Science and Natural History durch, in der auch die Arbeit Twenty Four Views Taken In St.Helena, The Cape, India, Ceylon, Abyssinia & Egypt (Abbey Travel 515, Nos. 1-25) von Henry Salt zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 12.000,00 – 18.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 12.500,00 (€ 15.541,56) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Henry Salt auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen 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).
