Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by James Archer could be acquired at Christies in London in November 2005 for an unexpectedly low price. In the IMPORTANT BRITISH AND IRISH ART auction, the work The Sancgreall, King Arthur Healed of His Grievous Wound changed hands for GBP 36,000.00 (€ 52,888.55) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 40,000.00 – 60,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Archer - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work The Betrothal of Robert Burns and Highland Mary, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 74,090.00 (€ 108,169.06).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von James Archer konnte im November 2005 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion IMPORTANT BRITISH AND IRISH ART wechselte die Arbeit The Sancgreall, King Arthur Healed of His Grievous Wound für GBP 36.000,00 (€ 52.888,55) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 40.000,00 – 60.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von James Archer mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit The Betrothal of Robert Burns and Highland Mary beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 74.090,00 (€ 108.169,06) versteigert wurde.
