Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2016 Christies in London held the auction Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art, which included the work Boys and girls come out to play by James Charles. The estimated price for the artwork was previously given by the auction house with a range of GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00, the actual price achieved of GBP 11,250.00 (€ 13,153.08) could thus just exceed the lower estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by James Charles - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Darby and Joan, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 26,290.00 (€ 38,382.57).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art, Maritime Art, Sporting & Wildlife Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Boys and girls come out to play von James Charles zur Versteigerung kam. Der Schätzpreis für das Kunstwerk wurde von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit einer Spanne von GBP 10.000,00 – 15.000,00 angegeben, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis von GBP 11.250,00 (€ 13.153,08) konnte den unteren Schätzpreis somit knapp übertreffen. Für andere Arbeiten von James Charles mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Darby and Joan beobachtet, die im Februar 2003 für GBP 26.290,00 (€ 38.382,57) versteigert wurde.
