Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Horace van Ruith could be acquired at Christies in London in January 2006 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Continental Pictures auction, the work Portrait of a gentleman, bust-length, wearing a black jacket and spectacles changed hands for GBP 240.00 (€ 351.77) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Horace van Ruith achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (A Brahmin Household) in March 2017 with an auction result of USD 384,500.00 (€ 359,412.97).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Horace van Ruith konnte im Januar 2006 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Continental Pictures wechselte die Arbeit Portrait of a gentleman, bust-length, wearing a black jacket and spectacles für GBP 240,00 (€ 351,77) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Horace van Ruith erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (A Brahmin Household) im März 2017 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 384.500,00 (€ 359.412,97).
