Auction result well in line with expectations
In April 2008 Christies in London held the auction Christie's Interiors, which included the work Off The Mary Coast (Illustrated); And Clawsey Beach, Port St, Mary, Isle of Man by James Aitken. The price achieved of GBP 437.50 (€ 557.75) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as 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 April 2008 führte Christies in London die Auktion Christie's Interiors durch, in der auch die Arbeit Off The Mary Coast (Illustrated); And Clawsey Beach, Port St, Mary, Isle of Man von James Aitken zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 437,50 (€ 557,75) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 300,00 – 500,00 angegeben worden. 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.
