Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2004 Christies in London held the auction Maritime Pictures, which included the work Going out for the night by James Aitken. It changed hands for a price of GBP 454.10 (€ 681.32) achieving a result in the upper range of the estimate price range of GBP 300.00 – 500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Aitken - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Ladies Pool, Portrush, which sold at auction in May 2006 for GBP 1,320.00 (€ 1,926.77).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion Maritime Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit Going out for the night von James Aitken zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wechselte sie für einen Preis von GBP 454,10 (€ 681,32) den Besitzer und erzielte damit ein Ergebnis im oberen Bereich der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 300,00 – 500,00. Für andere Arbeiten von James Aitken mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Ladies Pool, Portrush beobachtet, die im Mai 2006 für GBP 1.320,00 (€ 1.926,77) versteigert wurde.
